I remember the good old days when they had nice pix on the calendar and I used to look forward to turning the month. Now its all just on my phone. Not as good.
July and August are welcome times here in Flagstaff, AZ. June can get hot (up to the low 90s, which are considered cool in Phoenix, 150 miles south) but it stays dry. In early July moisture moves in and triggers the rainstorms. In Phoenix that is not an improvement… everything soaked as the sun comes out and heats it to 106F. Here it is bliss, dropping the temperature into the 70s or even 60s.
JJ seems to be writing a bit differently of late. Things seem more “meloncholy” and/or a tad “grumpy” in some of the arcs. I hope things are ok. It just seems different than his usual focus.
@Pipe Tobacco: Yeah. The character of the strip has been changing since around the kids starting their business arcs. Come to think of it, I haven’t fave’d a sexy strip in quite a while.
Hereabouts August is a cool month, for summer. The monsoon rains are well underway – the daily thunderstorms can drop temperatures 20F. Yesterday we hit 56F during a cloudburst.June/July are the blister months!I guess this is pretty much the same thing FlagMichael said, but I live in the mts of NM, not AZ.

Lots of places give away free calendars. We get one from Colonial Williamsburg. I scan each months photo and use it as a screen saver.
