Summer is upon us in the Bay area, and it is time to reflect again on Mark Twain’s description of Bay area summers:
“Along in the summer, when you have suffered about four months of lustrous, pitiless sunshine, you are ready to go down on your knees and plead for rain — hail — snow — thunder and lightning — anything to break the monotony — you will take an earthquake, if you cannot do any better. And the chances are that you’ll get it, too.”
