    For those who chose the second option, be careful what you wish for. You might not get a chance to relax in that hammock because you're shovelling snow all year.

    Jester, during "Cheap Tipper Season", what's the bag limit?

      If by "bag limit" you mean "douchebag limit," there appears to be none. Apparently they are unlimited.

        No, I meant it in the hunting sense of the word (hence the "devil" smilie). I'm sure a lot of bartenders and waitstaff would be ecstatic if there were no bag limit.

          It works either way, really.

          After all, he did say that there is an unlimited supply...

            They're not all that distinct here...

            We basically have Spring for about a month, then 6-8 months of Summer (sometimes we get it the way it is now, with highs randomly vacillating from 70 to 89 in freaking November), followed by January & February, then it starts all over again. No changing of the leaves, the trees are either green or dead (or Evergreen). Always the nice high humidity, tho ^_^ I wanna say 85% is average, year round. When you hear those tales of people's hair just goign "floomp" the second they get off of a plane upon arrival here...? Not a joke. Makes the "Winter" cold cut right through out heavy jackets, too. OK, OK, most people call them windbreakers

            The one odd note is -- pre-Katrina: during "standard summer", some part of the city would ALWAYS get a brief rainshower, every day, like clockwork. Since then, we had a near-drought for a year, and the afternoon rains are far less frequent (remember, 90% of the trees in many areas just ain't there anymore, whether it was due to winds or to water poisoned by nasty things blown in by said wind, tho they're recovering)

              I don't like winter. Spring is great, summer's awesome as long as no-one turns up the heat too far, autumn's okay. Winter however...

              It's not the cold that gets me, though. What I hate is the dark. 6 hours between sunrise and sunset do not constitute a day.

              This! The lack of light because of the short days drives me crazy. Although in my case it's the cold also and the constant fucking rain/drizzle crap we get here.

              I'm sick of "seasons". they are overrated. I could use mild warm temperate climates all year long now thanks

                I'm sick of all the snow in the Northern Wastes. For some weird reason (extremely weird indeed) we haven't had any snowfall that stuck so far (in the year-end, of course. Had more than enough in the beginning of the year).
                Long days, short nights, a bottle of NOS makes it all right.
