It’s the heat that defines us this month. It greets us at daybreak with its promise, but in an hour or so, it bears down on our shoulders and makes us dream of shade and something cold to drink. The best thing about our hot season, however, are evenings when most of the earth cools, and that breeze slides in off the mesa and caresses our cheeks. Then it’s time to sit, and laugh, and tell stories and just be with someone we love. Then is the culmination of a day we can be proud of.

In a few days, all those rhymers who lived in Tin Pan Alley back when Gertie was a pup will be fulfilled once again. How’s that you say? Was a love song ever written that didn’t have both moon and June in it? And the full moon will be here in a couple of days and it is our responsibility to go look at it. A full moon is probably the basic cause of most superstitions and spooky stories and maybe even a religion or two.

All land developers really have to do to name all the new streets in a sagebrush subdivision is to leave the naming up to the local kids. The names may be goofy, but seldom boring. Such was the case with Fonster Fench. From the outside, she looked just like any other small stray cat that a young girl might rescue and bring home. But when my kid named her Fonster Fench, I had to ask why. “Well,” she said, “you can see her name’s Fonster, right?

When the world is hot and my skin is fried, scratching from the constant dry, let the clouds boil up, boil up high. And then shade the earth with the darkening sky and bring the secrets and the smell of rain. The coolness and the blessed rain, again. Our land is brown but blessed, stressed in the heat, the shiny heat of day. The slender green of rivers slide along, striving to continue, to feed its own along the banks, the banks where the dust rises.

There are those who believe that old sayings are wise because someone now dead said them or wrote them or carved them into the cave walls a long time ago. But it’s our journalistic duty to laugh at ones that are just ridiculous. Case in point “There’s something about the outside of a horse that’s good for the inside of a man.”Have you ever brushed the outside of a horse? I don’t mean just getting the Cretaceous crust off him with a curry comb.
