First Day of Summer?!

Last evening we drove to a neighboring community to participate in its annual bonfire festival. After an inch of rain (2.54cm), the massive piles of wood mostly fizzled, despite being doused in copious quantities of kerosene. According to legend, that means we failed to scare away the winter witch and will have to deal with the *itch for the rest of the year. That seems likely, as you can guess from the way I was dressed.
