OK Tina, I can understand you not liking the types of hot temps I do. Let's face facts, anybody who likes weather in the 90s and 100s has to have a fuse blown, right? But having spent three years living in Utah, which granted isn't as bad as where you live, I can't understand how you could prefer that type of weather to at least your spring and autumn months. I mean snow up to your, well, whatever, shoveling the driveway almost everyday, scraping the windshields, the drivers who think that snow means "drive faster", slipping and sliding on the sidewalks, hoping that you're not too far down the list for the snowplows to plow your street, the snow looks beautiful after it first falls but after it's been walked and driven and plowed thru, it loses it's beauty pretty quick, and should you have a job working outdoors...yuk! I was fortunate enough to deliver propane to ski resorts while I lived there. Propane and ice do not make a happy couple. At the end of the day (which were always very long) I would come home with three pairs of thermal socks frozen solid to my work boots and had to soak in a hot tub for a half hour just to warm up. So as you can see, my love for that kind of winter weather turned sour pretty quick.
I'm just a born and bred California boy. I'm used to not having much in the way of seasons. Hell, I can't even stand it when it rains! Give me a bright, sunny, hot day with a pair of shorts and a tank top anytime and I'll be happy.
I guess you adapt to your environment. Maybe I didn't live in Utah long enough? But we won't go there... except to visit... in the summertime.
Hope you're feeling better,
Greg
