It's the second most wonderful day of the year - the start of summer. And summer came in like, well....like summer.
With the mercury in thermometers nudging up against triple digits, classes of iced tea were sweating as profusely as the foreheads of the people who were guzzling the refreshment down.
Children were, for a change, lethargic - the only game worth playing being that of who can get to the swimming pool first.
Oldsters set folding chairs with basket weave seats under shade trees and reminisced on surviving past heat waves without the benefit of air conditioning.
Police were conspicuous in their absence from city street corners and construction workers worshiped the shade that even a single 2x4 provided.
Yes, it was a real scorcher - and the best part of all is that there's more summer to come.
