The Dog Days Are Over

Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind
You can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses?
‘Cause here they come

Will the DOGE days also be over?

The Dogs Days happen every summer. Yes the summer heat is bad, but it does not last forever. It may seem like the Dog Days will last forever when you are in the middle of them, but they will end. They happen because the earth orbits the sun. The longest day (in the Northern Hemisphere ) is June 20^th, but  the Dog Days of summer are from July 3^rd to August 11. This is because it takes a while for the heat of the sun to heat the earth. But there is end to the Dog Days every year. The Dog Days of summer are followed by the glorious crisp days of autumn even though astronomical autumn does not begin until September 22nd.

Remember that when you hear that when you hear  someone say “If this goes on”. Chances are things won’t go on. Things do not work this way. Absolutes may trend straight lines, but you are NOT an absolute. The symbol of the absolute is a typically a circle, not a straight line for a reason. If the circle is large enough, the circumference of that circle looks like a straight line.  If you are not the absolute, don’t assume that the straight line you perceive will go on forever. That straight line probably won’t go on and don’t believe anyone who tells you it will.  The fact that things were better in the spring does NOT mean that the Dog Days will go on forever. Look forward for the fall. Don’t try to go back to spring, or you may want not get an endless summer, but an eternal winter.
