Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
I wear body armor at work. I also wear glasses, and I work nights. Can't run the AC in the car or the windows fog up, or worse, my glasses fog over the instant I step out. Even if nighttime temps drop from 95 to 80, with the humidity being what it is, I still sit there and sweat. I can't wait for fall/winter. I will miss my garden, being able to fish every day, and having to deal with all the animals' water freezing every few hours. We were pretty lucky this year...weonly had a week or so of really hot weather... otherwise it stayed mostly in the 80s. | |||

Not me. I don't even live in an area most of you would call hot and even I can't wait for it to be over. It's been a very humid summer so far and I hate it. I work outside also, so that makes it worse. Bring on the winter. Even working outside, my favorite word day is 20 degrees with no wind. Blissful. | |||

We still have plenty of summer here in Houston. It will be the mid to high 90s today. It won't cool down much for at least a month, if not six weeks. I prefer that to brutal cold, but at about this time every year, I get tired of the extreme heat. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I will certainly not miss summer one bit. Bring on the cold. | |||

I already did miss it. In mid-June I tripped over some Legos my grandkids left out and tore up my knee and my ankle. I could not walk for 30 days (till mid-July) and even in the four weeks since then, my mobility has been significantly limited. Apart from sitting on my porch, I didn't do anything this summer.  _____________________________________________________________________ “Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again." - Will Durant | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Looking forward to fall, winter and spring, summer in central FL has been hotter than normal, still, better than a winter needing a snowblower to get an area for your dog can get out to pee....  | |||

We still have a lot of summer yet to go. It usually gets really nice around Halloween, and then is paradise until mid-June. It will be 105F today, and that is pretty decent compared to 112-116F that we had in June!! | |||

Amen to that. The ONLY good thing about summer is the change in women's wardrobes. Come on, winter! | |||

Not quite that bad here on the left side of the state, but it is noticeable. I'm actually looking forward to the rain again. | |||

I can attest to members from Washington State since we’ve had a beautiful summer in BC, but the smoke from all the forest fires has made it difficult in the last week or so. Jimbo54 and his picture pretty much sums up the air quality where I live, and that’s right beside the ocean. | |||

Gone to the Dogs |
We moved out of town late last summer and up to a house near a lake with a private boat launch and it’s been nice. Relaxing out back, barbecuing and eating outside, cruising the lake. But I like all the seasons pretty much so it’s fine going into fall. And like others have said I could sure live without all the smoke, the last couple days is the worst I’ve seen.This message has been edited. Last edited by: tomgun, | |||

slept with the windows open last night for the 1st time in a month. I sleep about 40% better with the fresh air blowing about. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

I dislike cold weather also, although my Siberians don't agree with me. I hate the short days, going inside at 5 pm at dark, and all the accompanying problems with keeping water unfrozen for my dogs, I miss the late evenings at sunset doing stuff outside. About the only godsend to winter is the absence of ticks and bugs, but they don't dissappear until November nowdays I am going through my second case of Rocky Mountain Spotted fever this summer, I picked it up back in July. Also , going on trips, I hate driving back home in the dark. 美しい犬 | |||

Don't Shop. Adopt. |
Good riddens to Summer. I despise the heat.

I like all the seasons and along with a few health issues and being out of a real job, I am grateful for the warmth of the sun. Seen many a fine automobile this Summer. People out doing things. Heck, its just been a good Summer. | |||

I have lived all my life in the hot south. Now we can spend our summers in the high Sierra, and I don't miss the heat. But this has been the hottest, smokiest summer I can remember. The heat and smoke have subsided, only to be replaced by hordes of over-aged hippies from California and other like-minded new-agers. It's Burning Man week: stay away from Reno. On an aside, the Paiute Indian tribe police is stopping the traveling Burners and searching for drugs. | |||
