Dog Days of Summer

Submitted by Donna S. on Fri, 08/05/2011 - 2:35pm

It’s that time of year again.  Not just hot but HOT!  Incredibly, nasty, dangerously hot!  The kind of hot we get, oh, well, not every 5 or 10 years or even every other year here in Houston.  No, we seem to get it every year.
These days are called “dog days” of summer.  The term comes from a time when Sirius, the Dog Star – and the brightest star in the Canis Major constellation -- appeared to rise about the same time as the sun during the summer, thus adding to the heat of the sun.
