If summer was a mountain, then July 15 each year is the day we collectively reach the summit. Once there, we pause for a bit, reflecting on the path up and taking in the gorgeous view, and then with a sigh head back down and toward summer’s end just 45 short days away.

By all accounts then, it serves as the metaphorical midpoint of our unofficial summer, if you consider June 1 the start and Aug. 31 its symbolic end.
