Favorite: Cooking outdoors Least Favorite: Heat. Last year in my area, not a single day over 90. This year, we must have had 20 such days already. Which leads to another least favorite: the air conditioning bill. ---

> [@delphica](#): > > Most: > Least: > The cat doesn’t like to snuggle very much Damn – I wish _my_ cat would lose interest in snuggling.
