Summer is here

The longest day

The weather has made it seem like summer arrived much earlier. However, the naked Fremont bicyclists are tuning their bikes and cushioning their seats for the first day of summer this weekend. Yes it is solstice time and Father's Day all bundled together. For beer lovers it is the St. Edwards Festival out in Kenmore and for lovers of nakedness and summer frivolity it is the Fremont parade and Arts Festival.

Do we really want to think that the days are now getting shorter. Let no Seattle-ite complain that it is too hot too soon. It was not long ago that we experienced record rain in May.

So stay up and celebrate the sun until it disappears behind the magnificent Olympic Mountains.
