The 'Boys Of Summer' won't be seeing much of this, this summer!
It is too cold!
It is too cold!
The Jewel of the summer is July, but this year the Jewel is tarnished. To the ‘Boys Of Summer’ this is big news, but in a negative way. They are an elite group that enjoys the sunnier side of things when chasing their favorite summertime activities: Motorcycling, fishing, hiking and camping, and hitting the beach to pursue the wile ‘Surfer Babe.’ This year July has been cool and wet, not a good sign for we hot and sunny day worshipers of summer!
The Meteorologists at AccuWeather, have a name for 2009: “Year Without True Summer” trite, but accurate! According to these prognosticators, July’s low summer temperatures may forecast heavy snowfalls and very cold days this winter! If you are returning home soon, the weather will be quite the change from the July of your memories. Lets hope they are wrong about their dire winter forecast, which I say is partly overcast with a 50 percent chance of failure!

Sports Update:
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed their first round draft pick, Ziggy Hood, to a five-year contract! He is going to bring youth and athleticism to the defensive line. This 6’ 3” 300 pound former Missouri player promises to surprise a few teams bringing new blood to the current World Super Bowl Champion Steelers AKA Blitzburg!

The popular ‘Park Diner’ in Monroeville has been torn down, and now nothing is left of the structure at all. The lot is an empty spot. I shot these images of the diner the day the doors were closed for good, May 7, 2009! Another slice of Americana disappears with the progress of the regress of our economy.

There's something being built on the park diner spot now, any idea what it is?
Another big Pharmary is going up there! The area is saturated with them; they must be making money.
