Not me, I don't bitch about hot, I'm no hypocrite!

But nobody said anything about bugs and humidity.   ;D

Heh, it's not the heat it's the humidity.

I don't know which is worse:  Skeeters or green flies.  Green flies will bite you through clothing, the bastards.  And yes, green flies bite, and it is quite painful.

I used to love the heat and humidity, 90/90 being a good day, but that's a young man's game.

We had a very mild winter. A fair amount of rain but temps that averaged around 44 degrees. I don't think it ever got below 30. Usually that means a warmer than average summer but I abandoned "usually" when they elected The Precedent. Nothing is the same - nothing (except bad news) is predictable - everything is different.

The moles devastated my backyard this winter. I've been so busy that I hadn't taken stock of anything except emergent needs. The little bastards have hills topping two feet tall and three to four feet in diameter! Maybe I should dig it all up and plant potatoes...

We had a couple days of weather over the weekend and into the beginning of this week that were uncharacteristically miserable for this time of year. Usually by now things are thawing a bit, not going back into deep-freeze like they did. We're supposed to be returning to normal here shortly. Thank God. I need open water.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

A couple people in the elevator at work yesterday were joking about driving out there and killing that rodent!   ;D

Nothing says spring and the start of March Madness more than the sensation of snot freezing in my nose!

As low as -2 on my drive in, this morning.

Just at freezing this morning.  We've had more wintry weather in the last 10 days than just about the entire rest of the winter.  But the good thing about March snows, it doesn't stick around.

/Once had a mid-May snowstorm in college, which was in the Appalachins.  A good two or so inches of wet heavy snow on a Friday morning and clean as a whistle by mid-afternoon.

I remember April snows, but that really didn't last long, great slush mixed with open patches of pavement for the daring bus-surfer to skid his boots on!   ::whoohoo::

Ahh, memories of a simpler time!   ;D
