Hot & Cold

     We are (OK, I am) never satisfied when it comes to our weather. It's been a very hot Summer. Lots of 100+ degree days, lots of sweat and heat danger alerts...lots of high utility bills. But in about four months we will (OK. I will) be complaining about how cold it is.



     Have there been extremes the past year or so? You bet: Pakistan Flooding, Russian Drought and resulting fires, high and low temperatures that seem out of the ordinary, Volcano's belching smoke in Iceland.
     Or is it like this all the time, and it just seems to be hotter or colder or wetter or dryer than ever before?
     Again, if we just wait a matter of weeks, the heat will be gone and the cooler temperatures will return.





Then Tim can complain about the utility bill for heating!

[UPDATE: The Montgomery Advertiser reports there have been many more 100+ degree days than usual this Summer, and it may in fact be record breaking.]

  2. This has been the most miserable summer I can remember. I have 2 air conditioners running 24/7 and 3 fans going 24/7 as well and most days I can't get it below 85 in here. Some days I can't get it below 90.

    I am very sick of the heat and promise not to complain about winter. I actually like winter because I can always bundle up and add more wood to the fire....in summer no matter how much I take off it is still unbearably hot. Besides...there are laws about taking off too much!

    I'd like to live where the temp didn't get above say 80 in the summer.
