Yes, all you junior meteorologists out there in Gekko-land, I am well aware of the fact that the official solstice of summer is not for another month or so, but the residents of Atlanta are getting are seeing a trailer for this year’s summer season. It looks like the director was able to land the clouds and the rain for their recurring roles. The sun is back in a supporting role, although his presence is perfunctory, and his performance is outshone (pun intended) by the rain. Rain and precipitation are all over the place. The weather down here in “the Empire State of the South” only comes in just a handful of varieties: hot, hot and wet, cold, and cold and wet. Right now, it’s hot and wet. If one walks outside, he or she is instantly embalmed in a translucent film of his or her own perspiration. Imagine taking a shower without the hot water, just all the steam. Speaking of showers, I haven’t taken one yet today. As such, GK out.
