The lawn is crunchy with ice and it’s really quite chilly. I love this time of year. ---

My co-worker took great pleasure in informing everyone today that it was approximately 10 degrees hotter here than in Zimbabwe. Can I steal just a bit of that frost? ---

If you’re givin’ away frost, please send some to Georgia. I am already melting and it’s only June. I’m going to be in serious trouble in August. ---

Can you send some to Missouri? Some twatwaffle backed into our air conditioning unit and the landlord can’t get it fixed until Monday. It’s so humid insects are drowning in mid-flight. ---

It’s a very nice, comfortable maaaaybe 70 degrees here right now. About 75 to 80 at the MOST is all I can stand for heat. You folks with your 100 degree weather can just keep it! ---

See, that’s what I _expected_ when my wife and I drove through Tucson on our honeymoon. We took a driving tour of the Southwest _in August_, expecting, you know, heat and dryness and picturesque desert stuff. Instead the temperatures were in the low 70s and it rained the whole time. Still, we had fun. ---

I have made a bargain with several people I know- I will give them my summer, and take their winters. I’ll have about a week of 25 to 30, and the rest of the year will be under 15. That would be ideal. I frigging hate summer. I spent an hour on a patio today with a bunch of imbeciles _who like heat_. Aagh. ---

> [@Lissla Lissar](#): > > I have made a bargain with several people I know- I will give them my summer, and take their winters. I’d love to give someone our spring and autumn, and get more summer or winter in return. I’ve figured out that I like _dry_ weather, no matter what the temperature. ---

> [@Kythereia](#): > > Can I steal just a bit of that frost? 'Fraid not. I so rarely get to experience this type of weather that I’m going to hog it all to myself while I’ve got it. 🙂 It’s almost 10.30am now and the temperature has skyrocketed to 4 degrees. It’s a picture perfect, still, sunny winter’s morning. We’re all off for a brisk walk. ---

Still, we had fun. You do realize that August is the middle of monsoon, don’t you? I’m so looking forward to it this year. As long as I don’t have to drive in it, that is. ---

Hah. Can you imagine an igloo in downtown Toronto in July? Amid the Spadina Chinatown, maybe? With the delightful scent of rotting fish and garbage, 35 plus humidity, and thousands of people out in shorts clutching water bottles to stave off death by dehydration? Bring some of that ice, willya? Lissla(cuddling her air conditioner and waiting for October) ---

I went to the beach today, and proceeded to get turned into a Lobster. apparently my sunscreen application skills SUCK. So I’m suffering horribly right now. I mean, seriously - this is pain. ---
