Indian Summer

h1 August 27th, 2008

Dallas thinks I’m gonna jinx it by declaring our Indian Summer as arrived, but I don’t believe in that. So on that note – Indian Summer has arrived! Whee! Yay for summer in SF! It is 3:15p and 91°F. I guess to officially be an Indian Summer it has to remain above 70°F for seven days after the autumnal equinox, but my point is that its hot, and nice, and warm, and hot, and lovely. 

It might be a tad more lovely if i were floating on a raft down this lake.  Ahhhh…

From Wikipedia:

“In San Francisco, as an example, Indian summer is a less useful phrase because winter and summer temperatures do not vary much and September is the warmest month.”

“In some regions, such as the southeastern United States, Indian summer is colloquially used to describe the hottest times of the year, typically in late July or August. These, however, are more accurately known as dog days in reference to the prominence of a star during that period.”
