I really hope that I haven’t become a one trick pony, but hey, the weather around here has become such a one trick pony, so it’s all fair. I’ve only Pitted the weather twice this “summer”, far less than the 98327 times that it’s rained since mid-May. I think i’m owed one more. Jesus fucking Kee-rist on a mother fucking dumbstick! Does it ever fucking END? Usually when it rains this much, people tend to want to sleep in. Not me. The rain is so loud this morning that it woke me up at 4:30 and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I’m looking out my windows at the street and it looks like fucking Venice out there. I’m seriously considering wearing my winter galoshes this morning just so I won’t ruin my shoes. I’m going on vacation next week, a mere 60 miles from here. If the weather then is like it has been for the last 98327 days, then surely I will have to kill someone. No jury would convict me. It’s coming down in SHEETS and it just won’t relent! Goddammotherfuckingasslickingcuntbitchpricksonofawhoreweather! You’re an ASSHOLE! ---

Christ yes. Down here in CT we’ve had about 6 days total that actually resemble summer. If I wanted to live in a place where summer was 60 degrees and rainy every day I’d move to Glasgow. ---

Up here it’s the same deal and I love it. Every day without the sun means a day at work that’s bearable (no A/C). The weekends could use some sun and heat though. The seasonal equivalent to “Is it cold enough for you?” is now “Summer, if you can call it that”, but I love it. Sorry. ---

The weekend the ships were in was glorious. I was doing deck tours and got a definite sunburn. However, if you only ruin one pair of shoes[sup]\*[/sup], you’re getting off lucky. Half of a tree in my landlord’s yard fell and took out a utility pole. It probably cost him a pretty penny to have the other half taken down. This is a more serious risk than most of you realize. **tdn** is renowned for his stylish footwear. ---

> [@tdn](#): > > Goddammotherfuckingasslickingcuntbitchpricksonofawhoreweather! You’re an ASSHOLE! Especially for dropping all its rain on you. We’ve had a bit but we’re suffering from a nasty drought and an unseasonably hot summer. I know three people who’ve had their AC go tits up this season.
