Billy Bowlegs Festival
In order to generate “local excitement” [sell stuff] the chamber of commerce is once again annoying people with the Billy Bowlegs Festival. This year the unavoidable part runs from Friday, June 3rd and finishes up on Monday. The really obnoxious parade on Monday screws up traffic and sends a lot of noisy people through my neighborhood.
Almost as bad as the parade traffic jam are the Friday fireworks. I know a lot of people enjoy fireworks, but they probably have not seen what loud noises and flashes of light can do to people and aircraft – I am definitely not a fan.
With luck it will rain the rest of the week… 😈

Just going to be in the 90’s for the rest of this week. Last week I was wondering if we were ever going to have a summer because it was in the 60’s. This week resolved that question with a vengeance!
Down here June is the ‘new’ August – the calendar seems to be about 6 weeks off.
Got up to 98F here in Santa Clara yesterday. Today is “only” forecast to be 92. Hopefully I will get my business finished and get out of town before it hits 95…
It’s the 30 degree jumps in a day that make life miserable, whether it’s up or down. It looks like Florida may actually get a tropical storm make landfall after a multi-year absence.
