Do you remember the Twilight Zone episode entitled "The Midnight Sun"? The Earth had moved out of its normal orbit. Norma, and her landlady, Mrs. Bronson, were the last people in the apartment building. The rest of the tenants had either moved north where it was cooler or died in the heat. Rod Serling solemnly intoned, "One month ago, the Earth suddenly changed its elliptical orbit and in doing so began to follow a path which gradually, moment by moment, day by day, took it closer to the sun. And all of man's little devices to stir up the air are now no longer luxuries - they happen to be pitiful and panicky keys to survival. The time is five minutes to twelve, midnight. There is no more darkness. The place is New York City and this is the eve of the end, because even at midnight it's high noon, the hottest day in history, and you're about to spend it in the Twilight Zone."
That is how it has felt in Dover lately. If you would like to watch this intriguing episode, come in and check out volume 15 of The Twilight Zone.
Hot enough for you yet?
