Dog days of summer are upon us

According to Wikipedia “The dog days or dog days of summer (July 22, 2020-Aug. 22, 2020) are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star system Sirius, which Hellenistic astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck.”
