Interesting, it appears one of the possible origins of June (apart from the obvious Juno) is the Latin root juvenis, "young people."

Here in SA we celebrate "youth day" on the 16th of June. This commemorates the start of the Soweto uprising of 1976 in which a series of protests (against a law decreeing that the medium of education for them would henceforth be Afrikaans) were led by high school students, several hundred of whom were killed by police over the next few days.

Anyway, interesting coincidence.

Was helping my kids move last week. Big job.

All you rain-havers should band together and send the excess to CA.

Seriously though, stay safe.

Sorus, as a resident of the Pacific NorthWET, it has been my impression that CA has been trying to get our water for decades.
:P

Ms. Mary, I just moved Dam-et out of University and home for the summer. Yes, moving the younglings (no matter how old they get) is always a Big Job.

Sarge, no storm is big enough to slow your posting for long. Batten down the hatches and make it up to us next week when you have free time in Austin.

We're at 859 and the month is more than half over. We could do with a visit from Hurricane Null.
