I've read a little about why these hot, hot days are called the "dog days of summer." I suppose it's true that the term originated with ancient peoples who equated the hottest days of summer with the time that Sirius, the brightest star in the
Canis Major constellation, rises and sets with the sun.
But when the temperature is in the 90's for days on end and the humidity makes the air feel as if you could cut it with a knife, I think the dogs are the only ones who have the right idea about how to cope.
Remind me never to complain about winter weather again.
