INTERREGNUM n. The period ordsprog

INTERREGNUM, n. The period during which a monarchical country is governed by a warm spot on the cushion of the throne. The experiment of letting the spot grow cold has commonly been attended by most unhappy results from the zeal of many worthy persons to make it warm again.

I have a very warm spot in my heart for Vegas.

It's tough. You're all warm in the first period, and then you get cold in the second period. It's hard to get back into the flow of it.

The biggest concern for everybody is that once this rain quits, we will get a hot spell where everything goes to head and goes to seed and doesn't grow. We need warm weather, not hot weather.
