Less than a 100K streams combined of last nights convention...

30% only tuned in to see how pitiful it was...

And it didn’t disappoint

The media will busily rewrite how wonderful everything was regardless of what is said. Real clips versus fake news.

Gonna have to dig more on dog days seeing as how every dog has it’s day.

July 3: Dog Days Begin
The phrase “Dog Days” conjures up the hottest, most sultry days of summer. The Old Farmer’s Almanac lists the traditional timing of the Dog Days: the 40 days beginning July 3 and ending August 11, coinciding with the heliacal (at sunrise) rising of the Dog Star, Sirius. The rising of Sirius does not actually affect the weather (some of our hottest and most humid days occur after August 11), but for the ancient Egyptians, Sirius appeared just before the season of the Nile’s flooding, so they used the star as a “watchdog” for that event. Since its rising also coincided with a time of extreme heat, the connection with hot, sultry weather was made for all time: “Dog Days bright and clear / indicate a happy year. / But when accompanied by rain, / for better times our hopes are vain.”

Sirius observes a period of almost exactly 365¼ days between risings, keeping it largely consistent with the Julian but not the Gregorian calendar; nonetheless, its dates occur somewhat later in the year over a span of millennia.

(Consistent with Julian’s calendar?) Julian A.

“..for the ancient Egyptians, Sirius appeared just before the season of the Nile’s flooding..”

(Flood is coming?)

Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling
Anyone know when dogs days are over in 2020? We are past the 11th but it feels certain dog days are still with us!
