Its too hot

[phantasy]

You'll all hate me...

It is anywhere from -3C overnight to 18C at the moment...

*runs*

We don't get snow though, just a metric fuckton of rain.

I dont know why I love that word so much!

fuckton

Bwahahaha!!

Anyway, I hate hot weather. Everything sticks to me, and I look like I just rolled out of bed even after I've just taken a shower and brushed my hair and all. Not to mention I can't run or do any exercise unless it's in the gym, which is still uncomfortably hot, even if they have AC.

Peru...does not have AC in homes. It simply doesn't exist Neither does central heating. If you're cold, bundle up. But when you're hot, too bad. You can only get so nekkid before it turns into indecent exposure.

We do have an abnormal amount of nekkid people just walking around in Peru like it's completely normal, especially in summer.

I tried to not complain, because in a few months I'll be bitching about the cold and the snow....but geez....why is Wisconsin so extreme?

It's not 90s or triple digits here, but it's just been hot and wet at the same time here for well over a week. Sticky and hot. Eck. If it was dry heat, I'd be fine. Low 80s but no humidity? Great. But when the weather folk put us in the yellow or red, that's not comfortable.

It should NOT be 70 degrees and almost 80 with the heat index at 8:00 am.

You don't get snow and I'm supposed to feel jealous? I feel sorry for you more than anything.

That being said, I CAN tool around the desert in a car with no AC if I have to. I CAN go bicycling in the heat in the desert, and actually like it, but that is for recreation, not an all-day thing, if you follow me.

That's because it's so dry. I can take a humidex in the forties (C) so much more easily if it's because it's really hot and not that humid than if it's due mostly to the humidity. (Yes, I know that it gets hotter than that in the desert, but I've never experienced that heat or that dryness, so I wouldn't know that I can take it.)

Fireheart I'm coming to visit you and not leaving until Albany reaches a decent temperature. I'll knit scarves.

[Magpie]

Aha! That's why you were complaining about the heat. You don't have any cotton to knit!

ROAD TRIP!!!!

@Magpie- you have seen through my true complaint! All I've got is wool, alpaca or acrylic. None of which play nice with the heat.

@Jester- I'll bring my famous Lemonaid (for over night stops only, the thing's a whole third vodka and you don't taste it) as well as tasty cookies if you drive.

Our summer has finally arrived - the flannel is now put away for the season. Went from cool/damp 60s to sunny & warm 90s. It's even been in the upper 90s on the coast, which is really rare. Normally the coast is 10-20 degrees cooler than inland. At least this heat's not supposed to last long.

Shankyknitter: do you want some cotton? The standard dishcloth worsted weight stuff. My grandmother "bought some to make an afghan" (read: found it for a good price at the second hand store she volunteers at and knew I'd like it). I didn't have much room in my suitcase (even with the bigger one she gave me), so I could only take about 20 balls of it home with me, but there's more coming later (I think I have navy and left the black).

If you're willing to part with it who am I to refuse stash augmentation? Thank you Magpie.

I hate cotton. Almost all of my nicer clothes are made of rayon, which isn't heat friendly.

Cookies sound great. Myself, I don't drink vodka, but if you have some other famous cocktail mixture that involves rum or even whiskey, it would sound great to me.

And I have no problem driving. Been on more road trips than most people could imagine.

We FINALLY got a decent amount of rain. Parts of the city's sewer system briefly flooded. But we're running a 7-inch rain defecit. Strange that it was raining buckets for three hours yesterday and parts of my backyard are already beginning to dry out.

[blas]

I don't believe the weather people when they talk about rain defecits. We had the 6th wettest June on record, it would rain at least 4 days out of every week (mostly Fridays and Saturdays cough cough) and yet the douchebags and bagstresses would STILL chirp "Tee hee well we doooo need the rain, we are still 3 inches below average der der der!". Then I found out they only said that because the rivers and lakes weren't flooded, and since it didn't snow in March.

Then we got to last week, the beginning of July, and it was all "Wow, that was the 6th wettest June on record! Let's hope for a drier July! We are now no longer below average for rainfall!"

Heh. I used to openly cuss at the Weather Channel every Spring because when I lived in Ohio the ONLY weather we'd get was cold, windy and shitty garbage weather with rain and snow. And those pricks would do NOTHING but openly brag about how warm, sunny and pleasant the weather in the west was.

Well guess what??? We're in the goddamn EAST in MAY and it's 40 freakin' degrees, never even felt 60 degrees yet this year and the ONLY "sun" we get to see is when you show freakin' images of Colorado and Utah on the TV screen!!!!!

So dont tell ME one more time about how perfect it's gonna be this weekend to play golf and go on a family outing in goddamn Fresno you jackasses!!!!!
