I hope they're not on to something here..
I came across a weird fact I'll use on the air today, a weird fact that has really got me to thinking. And that, as we all know, can be a dangerous thing. The fact?
That almost sixty percent of Americans consider August 1st to be the end of summer.
The reason that fact seems to be resonating with me is that here we are, j on the day many people consider “the end of summer”, and it really doesn't seem like summer's even started yet. I don't know the reason; I don't know if it's been the less than optimal weather we've had here, the ever-present smoke in the air, or the packed schedule I've had recently. But for me, at least, here we are—on the day some people consider “the end of summer”, and mine doesn't even seem to have begun yet.
Yikes.
That's not to say I haven't enjoyed myself the past few months, because I can really say that I have. I've been playing outside and taking time off here and there like I normally do, but something just seems...different. I can't put my finger on it, nor can I even say if the difference is a good thing or a bad thing. But whatever that difference is, it just makes it seem to me, at least, like summer has barely started.
Even if sixty percent of Americans think it's now over.
And on that note, I'm taking a few hours off today, so I have to get into work to, you know, work, leading me to cut this (a little short). Have a great weekend; assuming the smoke doesn't hang around, it should be a nice one!
