It’s the UNofficial Start of Summer!

May 27th, 2007 by Fiar · 6 Comments ·

We’re not even all the way through this extended Memorial Day weekend, and I am sick to death of hearing radio and TV broadcasters tell me that “this is the official start of summer.”

No it’s not – or did I miss the memo from the Earth’s axis? Did the Earth and the Sun agree to a date change on when the Summer Solstice was to occur this year?

Now, I realize that I’m talking about broadcasters here, so the average broken hammer is probably more intelligent, and more literate as well, but still, isn’t there someone in the studio – just one person – that can understand the basic difference between official and unofficial?

You see, this weekend is the unofficial start of summer. This means that for some retarded reason, even though the official start of summer is still almost an entire month away, brain-dead morons start droning on endlessly about how it’s summer now. That day on the calendar in the third week of June that says “First day of Summer” is the official start of summer.

Now, do I want to literally slap these imbeciles upside the head, or figuratively? Either way,
Humor-Blogs.com is your official one stop shop for teh funny. I mean that literally.

Of course, let’s not forget that this isn’t even really about the UNofficial start of summer. It’s about the heroic sacrifices that have been made to preserve our freedom, and to give the gift of freedom where there was none. Let’s salute our military – past, present, and future – both literally and figuratively.

Good point, right there at the end, about the soldiers. They should be our focus.

Btw, we have 90 percent humidity right now, at 11:30 p.m.; it’s summer! Well it feels like July 4th. Grrrrr! I need a more pleasant climate.

This is the official day that we thank those in uniform for protecting our right to comment on blogs such as this. Thank you FIAR.

It is cloudy here and I considered turning my heat on this morning.

I always thought that what they call the first day of summer (based on the sun being at its highest declination north, for the northern hemisphere folks), should really be the exact middle of summer.

Then that would make fall start in like – August, and spring would start in February.

[...] I also remember, as recently as 2 years ago, going to the beach in the middle of October. People would think this is odd, but it’s only 3 weeks after the end of Summer, and it’s actually usually warmer than it is 3 weeks before Summer starts, especially the water temperature. You know, like Memorial day weekend, that people think is the official start of Summer [...]
