I wont bitch about this again .. it's just that i'm not getting any younger and i have no idea how many summers i have left - doesnt seem like that many any more ... is it too much to ask to just sit outside on a hot sunny day ?

Well urge...have you ever considered either leaving Canada or vacationing in a place warmer just for the summer season. I actually wouldn't mind switching with you. I hate summer and warm weather to begin with for that matter. Winter was always my favorite season and fall second favorite; but with living in the mid-atlantic part of the states fall in Sept and October is such a tease. Fall starts on the 21st of September and I can only recall 3 ocassions were the temps were under 70 degrees; and those shouldn't count because it was raining. Well I guess one of the good things about living in the midatlantic region is that it's not always cold or always hot; you tend to feel all four seasons. But I do get annoyed by sometimes how the seasons tease you every so often. This part of Virginia I'm in right now (Staunton) is pretty much always sunny until I assume January (that's when people say it starts snowing and feeling like winter in the month)

But as far as my summer went....it was ok. Besides being hot. I think all the middle of June, all of July the temps were 95-102 on average....at night it would cool to the 80s. I hated that. Then August the low 90s to mid 80s was frequent. Fall isn't moving quickly if you ask me. I mean yeah the squirrels are storing their nuts, trees are changing...but I don't "feel the chill." (for lack of better pun) To me 80 is hot, so I can maybe my judgement may be wrong. So maybe I should pay a visit to Canada one day. Omg, if you're jealous or frustrated about the Cali comments, maybe spend a summer in Arizona, or Nevada--especially Las Vegas (it was 110 everyday I was there and "cooled down to 100". Ridiculous. :mad:

Don't feel bad about you venting about a lack of heat...I feel the same way but for the opposite reasons.
