Weather or Not

The summer sun stands before us, rising out of Lake Michigan and silhouetting the swollen Emerald Isle. Already, the familiar faces of the Summer People are blending in with those of us who have weathered Old Man Winter. In a few short weeks the innocuous mass of holiday makers will add, however subtly, to the lengthy history of these storied islands. At times, it's almost overwhelming.

The weather for this brief Normandy-like invasion will be, in a word, GREAT! I mean it is going to rock. Lots of sunshine, evening showers, high temps. The water will be warm early and should stay that way through half of September. The reason for this is that there is so much less water to heat. Still, it promises to be a beautiful summer replete with all of the trappings: bugs, sunburn, cops, late night soirees, and loads, LOADS of people. Hey, it's all part of Paradise.
