Yes, it's summertime in North Carolina. I don't know how weather forecasters stay employed over the summer. Today's forecast:

High in the low 90s, sunny, humid, chance of afternoon Thunderstorms

This seems appropriate:

What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy

And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for taking a walk outside
I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new-mown lawn

I've been having a sweet dream
I been dreaming since I woke up today
It's starring me and my sweet thing
'Cause she's the one makes me feel this way

And even if time is passing me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load
A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad

{Whistle}

And you can be sure that if you're feeling right
A daydream will last long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years

What a day for a daydream
Custom made for a daydreaming boy
And now I'm lost in a daydream
Dreaming 'bout my bundle of joy

1 Hope you are enjoying the weather. Hey, I have a post up that I think needs YOUR perspective.

2 Hmm, we had severe t-storms and flooding in Raleigh. Power out all over the place.

3 Hunh. I had no idea your weather forecast was the same exact one as ours until September. Do any outside stuff early in the day, 'cause come 2:00 the thunderstorms roll in... every... day.

4 Urgh... Reading your posts has me reconsidering my move back to NC, but then you remind me of one of the reasons I loved it. Why do you do this to me??

5 I spent the entire month of July @UNC Chapel Hill in '96 and it only rained twice. I kept wishing it would rain because I thought it would get cooler afterwards....boy was I wrong! Still, it's a very beautiful state.

6 The big difference, Bou, is that you can't set your clock here by the storms. Sometimes they show up, sometimes they don't. And usually when they show up, they're tremendous storms -- 40-60mph winds, sometimes hail in the middle of summer. Like FL, they're often very localized. Just last night it was raining so hard at my house I couldn't see across the street. I called a guy who lives nearer to the softball field than me, and he wondered why I was calling -- it wasn't raining at his house, about 1.5 miles away. Michele -- twice? In July? That's pretty darn rare -- it must have been in one of our so-called drought years.

7 God, that sounds like weather hell! too hot! Way too hot. We are currently in a heat wave here, upper 80's low 90's... I'm ready to move to Alaska.

8 That is the same forcast for SC too. When we visit MIL in the summer it's the same forcast every.single.day. I would love it! We are getting 90 degree days here and I am in heaven!! For me, it's not even warm until 85 degrees.
