    Gus is short for Augustus after whom the month is named.

    Just wait for February. Everyone currently complaining about the heat will be wishing for it.

    I’m sorry, but Gus is just not short for Augustus.

    which Roman bigshot can we blame for the misery ol’ man winter visits on us?it’s kind of a matter of degrees. to make summer more bearable, our a/c’s only have to bring the temps down from 90 to 78 or so. In winter we have to bring the temps up from like ZERO to 78 or so……….speaking in terms of economics, summer is better.

    Well, that was a surprise. I was expecting it to end with the fact that in the US, August is the only month without a holiday.

    The only Guses I’ve ever know were Greek guys named Constantine…but then, what do you expect from Greeks? (My grandfather was Greek, so keep yer sense of humour, folks!)

    I’ll take fall & winter over spring & summer any time! You can always dress warmer when it’s cold, even iside the house, but this unending heat and humidity is pure misery.
