Well, it's that time of year again.

Yeah traffic is getting worse! I've lived in the Detroit and Chicago areas and the traffic seems to be worse in Orlando in some ways. I-4 is always jamming up, but fortunately I have a 'reverse' commute, driving out of the downtown in the morning and back at night, watching all those poor people stopped in traffic. Living downtown has the advantages of having a street grid so I have multiple ways of getting around. The suburbs suck as all the neighborhoods have only one or two entrances/exits causing everyone to have to pull out onto a now 6-8 lane road just to reach any thing.

i'm finding that winter now starts around the middle of january. it used to get cold* for christmas. but now it just gets tolerable. cold* doesn't come around much. *cold = ~60^o F

About 1:25 pm here.Right now about 66 degrees F, 28 C. Of course, I live within 1/4 mile (~200 m) of the "great air conditioner", Lake Superior.Looks like we're finally going to get a stretch of non-rain. Weatherman says that it had been raining 3 out of 4 days since the start of May. Sure seemed like it.Have a nice cooking, you people of the south.MooseThis message has been edited by minnemooseus, 06-17-2005 02:28 PM

Here in Tucson, it's a pleasant 42 C (110 F). Supposedly the weekend is going to "cool down" to 38 C (100 F). Of course, there's no humidity.

OK, so it was warm (23)and humid (and overcast) today and it's to be fine and warm tomorrow and last week we had some warm sun, but apart from that I've been going up to the yard to get my horse in from the field in average temperatures of 10 degrees with freezing cold driving rain and howling gales!!! The ground's so waterlogged that I'm up to my knees in mud trying to catch that daft cuddy.This isn't a whinge about unseasonal wet weather, this is a whinge about a normal Scottish summer!! You lot are soooooooooo lucky! On Wednesday I was riding in circles in horizontal rain, but cheered up when I realised it wasn't snow!They say we're in for a long, hot summer. They do sometimes happen. More often than not, this sun-worshipper is disappointed. I suppose you could say that at least all the rain means the garden is lovely and green - shame the rabbits have eaten most of my plants and left the weeds! Ho hum!

yeah. that's our WINTER.
