My LINKcat AccountThis is a summer that most of us will be happy to see get over itself so that we can move on to the next season. And while we can't seem to catch a break as far as rain is concerned there are some signs that this oven we've been broiling in will start to back down to mere baking. The days are already noticeably shorter at least to us early riser. Sunrise on the longest day of the year was 4:18. Today the sun rises at 4:36 - that's a loss of 18 minutes. In the evening we've only lost 8 minutes. But fewer daylight hours mean the angle of the earth is shifting so we get less sunlight which will - eventually-result in cooler temperatures. Another sure sign that we are marching towards Autumn is that Packers training camp opens a week from today and the first preseason game is Thursday, August 9th. In the meantime, there are plenty of good books to read. Reading is one of those activities that can have a calm, cooling effect (unless you read on a treadmill or elliptical). There are still a few weeks left in the Summer Reading /Library Program so if you're in the mood to take it easy and do some serious reading, why not sign up for the program and gain some rewards? A sampling of the new books that have recently arrived are further down the page. Enjoy!
