Dog days of summer

(7-30-10) Yep, they're here -- the dog days of summer, those hot, humid, sultry days in July and August in the Northern Hemisphere.

Sirius is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major and also the brightest star in the heavens after the Sun.

Long may she wave

(June 14, 2010) Although the origin of Flag Day dates to the late 19th century, its inspiration goes back to 1777 when on June 14 in Philadelphia the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution adopting the American flag with 13 stripes and 13 stars using the colors of red for valor, white for purity and blue for justice. In 1949 President Harry Truman signed an Act of Congress that National Flag Day be observed every June 14. However, Flag Day is not a national holiday.
