Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for June 21, 2022

Donna Summer has already passed.

This looks like the Summer of Discontent approaching! 8^ (

It’s a little early for the head in the fridge around here. Just wait till the real heat and humidity starts in August, although it seems like it is getting an early start this year.

I see their A/C conked out.

I’m with Janis on this. I HATE hot weather.

Does this fridge vent out the bottom, or from coils in the back? If it’s in the back, that’s an Arlo problem.

It’s only slightly less stupid than cooling down from drinks or ice in the fridge, which also get cold from heating up the kitchen.

Well let’s see, there’s Susan Summers, Jamie Summers, Indians Summer (if it’s ok to say), dog days of summer…

I just got a new ductless A/C, just in time. Less trouble than the windows ones.

First day of summer and Janis has already had enough.

That didn’t take long.

Actually, the summer solstice was traditionally considered to be midsummer

Arlo could get a nice view of her tush, f he turned around :-)

Florida has the seasons of almost summer, summer, still summer, Christmas.

Well, yes there are other summers out there

Summer Glau

Summer Selby

Summer Bellessa

Suzanne Somers

My wife is a heat-lover. Yesterday she went out to weed wearing a sweatshirt and sweater…then the sun came out. She decided it was officially t-shirt weather. Definitely improved her mood.

nice to see a strip related to the day

It might be tough here some winters (NW PA), but summers are fantastic..never really hot.

oh, i’d give her a little pinch, Arlo

I believe Janis is having her own “personal summer”.

There’s the summer of love.

Personally, I think Arlo is a downer.

^ I’m not going to elevate that with a response. Some people wouldn’t know a downer if they saw him in the mirror.

Personally I adhere to the summer solstice marking Midsummer Day.

Give me a chance to lop one season off the year, and I would not hesitate; summer is hell.

I’ll take 45° over 75° (that’s °F; about 7° & 28° for our °C friends) any time, and hotter than that is not meant for human habitation! And don’t tell me about the desert and how “But it’s a dry heat” – so’s an oven; ain’t agonna sit in one if I can help it.

I’m with you, Janis. And, of course, love being the evil trickster it is, She is freezing at anything under 75° (seriously; last week it got down to 74°, and She was huddled up in a heavy sweater under a blanket complaining that She was freezing. I start sweating sitting still – in shorts & a Hawai’ian shirt – at 72°.)

He forgot Celtic summer, which starts on May 1st.

I can relate!

Solar summer begins in early May, halfway between the vernal equinox and the summer solstice.

We should hit 107 today.

Arlo you have a chance to get Janis’s mind mind off the heat if you grab the opportunity !

Janis’ position is just begging for an ice cube down the back of her shorts. : )

Early? We are getting 80’s at night and 90-100+ every day for 4 weeks.

The other ladies in my previous knitting group used to refer to the hot flashes associated with menopause as “personal summer”, so there’s another summer for you.

Indian Summer (those hot days after the first cool spell).

Okay, I don’t get the “it’s hot, but not humid” thing that desert folks talk about? Here in sunny FL it’s in the high 90’s and very low humidity right now. Very NOT normal for us this time of year. Still feels like being in heII outside – this dry heat is worse, at least for me – can’t wait for hot and humid to come back.

I hate heat, but I hate humidity more. I live in central AZ and summer gets to 117, 118, 119. As long as the humidity stays at 6% I can get from my office to the car to my home to stores, all of which are heavily air conditioned.

Been in the 100’s here in Louisiana since last week.Was 113 with heat index today.
