Here Comes The Sun Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it's all right Little darlin' it's been a long cold lonely winter Little darlin' it feels like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it's all right Little darlin' the smiles returning to their faces Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been here Here comes the sun, here comes the sun And I say it's all right Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Sun, sun, sun, here it comes Little darlin' I feel the ice is slowly meltin' Little darlin' it seems like years since it's been clear Here come the sun, here comes the sun And I say it's all right Here come the sun, here comes the sun It's all right, it's all right ...George Harrison, ©1980 Southern Music/Northern Songs. It's six in the morning and it's still dark, but not quite dark. It's gray rather than black. By the time I get myself dressed and out the door it will be light. It will soon be summer. I like the dark. I like it when I go to work in the dark and when it is dark at six in the evening. I like the cold, or at least our version of the cold, which mostly passes for cool in cold climates. Some people like the approach of summer, I don't happen to be among them. Summer is our winter here in the desert. It is a time to stay inside, out of the elements. I prefer our winter, in the way people in Maine or Minnesota prefer their summer. For sure, some hearty folks relish the challenges of the extremes, but as I said, not me. Today will be ninety degrees again, with a promise of a return to the seventies later this week. Bearable temperatures will be around another few weeks, if we are lucky. By May first, the long hot summer will be on us and stay until at least October. An unwelcome visitor. I guess we could flee to somewhere more temperate for a few weeks or months, many people do. But most just stay and endure the heat. We will too, we always have. George Harrison was wrong on this one. Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true. The writer is frequently wrong, sometimes just full of it, but always judgmental and cranky Tag:

How is the year 1980 attached to this song?
Wasn't it on some Beatle Album? Or am I experiencing signs of dementia again?

I love the dark, and I love rain, sleet and snow...
I appreciate INTERVAALS of sun, but not SUNSUNSUN.
I especially like the rain, and fog too.

I like the cold and snow here at OPE headquarters more than the hot muggy days of August.

If the sun would leave the snow alone, it would be better. The sun melts only a little snow, then the sun goes away and at night it freezes again into an icy coating, then the sun comes back and melts more and it re-freezes and it keeps getting slicker and icier. and you can't make snowmen or anything...
