Hello all,

Matt is away for a couple of weeks on a long-overdue vacation so there will be some new people writing the intros for the next couple of issues. Matt likes to talk about the weather during his intro, and that seems like a fine tradition to continue.

I am in the Champlain Valley near the lake, which usually has a different climate than the mountain valley where Small Dog central is located. After a recent week of record-breaking temperatures things have settled down to… well… hmmm… to describe the weather here lately, we’ve been using words like “variable” to be kind (and lots of words that are unfit to print). Violent thunderstorms, hail, rain, sun, flooding, hot, cold… and it’s only lunchtime.

Someone did just remind me that the first day of summer was really only about a week ago, though, so I’m hopeful things will settle down soon and we’ll have a stretch of the classic Vermont summer weather that reminds us why we live here.

Happy Computing!
