dog days of summer are supposed to be over! its september now.... :)
(but its still hot!) i knew this expression, and that it has to do with
the hottest days/weeks of summer, but until i asked wikipedia
i never knew why...! well, it comes from the ancient belief that sirius
(the dog star) in proximity to the sun was responsible for the hot
weather...
we are having a long weekend (monday is labor day), and i think i september dogs are allowed on the beaches again.... but not their sh*t, as you can see here, you will need to bag that and take trash it properly. i always find it a funny sight.... here they are very strict, and everyone indeed picks up after their dog (unlike the netherlands, at least the last time i was there..). i wonder what the dog thinks, sometimes, of this practice... :D
