C'mon on.), move to WA. I need friends, you people are my friends; you hate being so hot you melt, I wish I could melt a little more; I miss you guys, you miss me. <br /><br />It's flawless!Sarah Lewiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320309476740815470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662044508329976245.post-6715809978730450302010-07-10T18:50:41.708-07:002010-07-10T18:50:41.708-07:00Stephen and Heather pretty much said it all.Stephen and Heather pretty much said it all.Chris Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11223315390654119564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662044508329976245.post-9759841568907635222010-07-10T08:25:23.597-07:002010-07-10T08:25:23.597-07:00Dearest Sarah,
We are writing to inform you that ...Dearest Sarah,<br /><br />We are writing to inform you that summer is the OPPOSITE of good. There are many adjectives with which we describe summer. Among these are: awful, gross, stupid, dreaded, hateful, nasty, evil, and BLEHHHHHHH.<br /><br />We are not saying that you are wrong on many points, just that you are incorrect. It could be called a "difference of opinion," but we prefer to call it "you're wrong and we're right." We feel that, due to our climatological situation in Central Texas, we have a better grasp on the true meaning of summer. For example, we know that summer is a season, not just a week as you think. It is during this season that the regions of the world which experience it pray, long, and pine for relief. In some cultures, a device is required for comfortable living. The device may be foreign to PNWs; it is called an air conditioner.<br /><br />In an act of goodwill, we will now exert ourselves to correct your list of summer-loving reasons.<br /><br />1) Country music can be played at much louder decibles considering the windows will be down and the wind will be whipping through the car... IF the heat index is lower than 80 degrees. Otherwise the air conditioner must be used, wasting gas if the windows are down.<br />2) Everyone knows that coffee is more delicious than popsicles, but less desirable in hot weather. This is a bummer.<br />3) Hot weather is also a reason for snakes and other critters to go to the lake or river.<br />4) WE want to sit inside, because it is unbearably hot outside.<br />5) TMI, Sarah. TMI.<br />6) Two words: wear shoes.<br />7) By "summer glow" do you mean that stream of sweat dripping from our heat-stricken selves? (And we are glad we are not nerds.)<br />8) Pshawww! Electric bills are higher in the summer because of the dang expensive AIR CONDITIONER required to keep the apartment below 80 degrees!<br />9) Comfortable warm night driving requires temperatures below 80 and humidity below 60%. Otherwise it's warm night swimming in the car and a shower later.<br />10) By "smell of sunshine" do you mean "smell of B.O." from everyone around you? That's what it means here... cause it's so darned HOT!<br /><br />We sincerely hope that this has helped to correct your false impression of summer. If you are still not convinced that summer is evil, you are always welcome to come visit and experience it for yourself. Bring a fan and drink lots of water.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Stephen and HeatherStephen & Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662044508329976245.post-1574889170007554092010-07-09T18:02:14.770-07:002010-07-09T18:02:14.770-07:00Vitamin D - we desperately need warm sunny days he...Vitamin D - we desperately need warm sunny days here in the dear PNW.<br />Warm breezes across the face.<br />The NW beaches are more tolerable than in the bone chilling other seasons.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02056805010627211243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662044508329976245.post-11465341324838037342010-07-08T15:28:06.596-07:002010-07-08T15:28:06.596-07:001) I can actually sit outside and read without fre...1) I can actually sit outside and read without freezing to death.<br /><br />2) I can go outside without shoes on and actually enjoy it (insert stereotypical remark about Southerners and their lack of shoes).<br /><br />3) Shorts.The Goodefatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15814935165112121852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662044508329976245.post-47536904928857158032010-07-08T15:09:10.396-07:002010-07-08T15:09:10.396-07:00Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream cones on the waterfr...Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream cones on the waterfront!!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096387662665931825noreply@blogger.com
