Message from Dee O Gee, What is a Dog Day Afternoon

Let's begin with a slightly different phrase, "the dog days of summer." Dog days are not about or connected to the lovable cannines which many of us enjoy. Dog days are actually referring to the star "Sirius", also known as the dog star, found in the constellation of Canis Major, deriving its name from the Greek word '"seirios", which means "scorching".

The star sirius is most visible in our hemisphere during the summer months as the brightest star in the heavens (not Polaris, the northern star).

So, "dog day afternoon" actually means nothing more than a hot summer afternoon.

And that folk's is what a Dog Day Afternoon is all about. How did I do Ren?.

Great job, Dee O Gee!
