Sigh. It's that time of the year again.

Used to be it was something you looked forward to: smells of fresh grass and trees and flowers, butterflies and honeybees whisking about, slapping the occasional fly off the wall, watermelon and cherries, grapes and cantaloupe.

Now all it is is bad air and noxious smells, the one that comes off the freeway too early on an already hot morning, the roasting smell of the sidewalk leading into buildings throwing off yet more heat, brown air that makes your throat tickle, the ceaseless odor of diesel trucks and busses and cars that somehow passed inspection, the errant mosquito zeroing in on you the moment you open the door to outside, wasps and more wasps buzzing the front porch...

God, I hate summer.
