Here today, gone tomorrow

There's an old Maine joke, this flatlander is up on a "foliage" tour in the fall and asks a Native,

"What do you folks do in the summer around here?"

"Well, if it comes on a weekend, we usually try to have a picnic."

83 F today, forecast for 63 F tomorrow, and 50s later in the week.

There are rather similar jokes about the British summer, which is usually considered to last about a week. (First day of summer: June 21st. Midsummer's day: June 24th.)

There are jokes like that about the British summer. One day of warm, sunny weather, well that's it -- hope you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we're now having horribly hot summers all the time, it seems. We've been having quite a heat wave recently: warm, sunny days. Today it's grey and sprinkling rain a little -- the first rainfall in several weeks.

I laughed at your post initially because I used to live in Colorado, where a native of Maine would be considered a flatlander. Pretty much anyone from outside of Nepal, Switzerland and parts of Alaska are considered flatlanders there, though. ;)
