I'm in denmark, and the dog days are in june and, much to my surprise, I've recently found out that the dog days originally didn't refer to anything about the weather, but to shooting the wild dogs in the larger cities it refers back to 15th century, when wild dogs in the cities were a big problem, and they were frequently shot dead - but the upper classes were annoyed by all the dead dogs lying around, so a law about only shooting them in midst june were made btw, it's cold and rainy, and my wallstreet is sort of dead - needs soldering at the power supply plugin /tina -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
