It's grey This morning And I'm not Going To complain This time - The break From the heat Is far too welcome. Our "second sumner" Has scorched The green Into crackling brown, As an accessory To the sunburns Harvested At Less crowded beaches, With fewer tourists And schools Refilled with students. But thankfully, This morning, The sky is grey, And the air Is still and cool - The heat delayed, Fo now. September 5, 2025
I know I spent a ton of time complaining about the grey skies all of May #maygrey and June #junegloom - it’s a birthright for us, in San Diego, where comfort exists in a narrow temperature band from 65-75 degrees. Our #secondsummer has been angrily hot so far, so we complain.
