It is the 4th of July this week and we are sitting in the lower 68’s for a high each afternoon, which is still good and warm as far as I am nervous.
The middle of July will see the 71 F barrier get broken for the first time this year, marking the start of the summer season that will last till the middle of November.
This is okay with me because where I come from in the deep south the summer time heat can extend well into November and December. It can be hot on Christmas Day and A/C is pretty much constant year round, here it cools down nicely in November and you can shut off your cooling system by the middle of the month and not have to run it till July of the following year. So it getting hot here in a few weeks is nothing to me and I am looking forward to some warmer temps so I can bust out my new board shorts and tank tops for the summer. There will be some new local companies opening where others were closed and a lot of the beach bars will crank up their portable A/Cs for the summer season. We are trying to get in this one beach bar this summer time but the owners are not sure about our different type of sound. But last night while a band was playing in the local business we noticed more people listening to us than the band they had on their temperature controlled stage. It’s just a matter of time before they cave in and hire us.
