A summer’s day sweat
As irritating as cold
I want my spring back
Promise of some rain
The graphics are on the maps
Last minute veering
People say shut up
Summer heat beats winter cold
Both can go fuck off
(Yeah. I’m in a mood and needed to creatively vent. Summer and winter can hold hands and leap face first into a pit of rusty nails and fire ants.)

LOL Charles! I couldn’t agree more. The summer heat here in Florida is killing me just as much as the cold did in winter! I want utopia… 70-75 degrees every day and 50’s at night! 😀

I can only imagine what it’s like in Florida, especially with the humidity. Hope you’re able to stay cool and get some rain to bring the temps down.

The heat index is 107 – 112 F. with the humidity factored in. I am in my dark (blinds and curtains closed to keep the heat OUT) creative room typing away… waiting for October! LOL!

Lots of writing time… It got so bad that this year we hired someone to mow the lawn. My husband is 10 years older than I am, and if it is too much for me, I know it was killing him. As a matter of fact, that should be the business I go into… mowing lawns is quite profitable!! 😀

I was told long ago that one would hire neighborhood kids to mow the lawn. I know the snow shoveling business was around when I was a kid.

Yeah, our kids mowed lawns years ago. The kids don’t do that (here in my neighborhood). The parents drive them down the block and sit in the car with them so they can catch the school bus! LOL! 😀

Not a bad idea in the heat. The bus comes to the house for my sun, so we’re kind of lucky there.

Favorite months – March winds and kite flying…October’s release from the heat. Spring/Spring, right?
We’re still waiting for rain here 😦 I’m happy, though, that it’s rained down in Southern California. They were so horribly dry, too. Just with their freeway hadn’t washed away with the rain. Yikes! California can’t win!
Loved the poem, Charles.

I am one who has always said, “It’s better to sweat than freeze” but as with all things, there is a limit. Especially with me starting to get a bit aged. I am finding I am less tolerant of the heat, and less worried about colder weather.
I do have a theory, though: The sun exploded already, but people “in the know” rightly decided to not inform the general public. It would be better for extinction to come about by natural forces than letting everyone wipe each other out in the panic and riots that would surely follow such an announcement.

I think because it’s easier to stay warm with layers, so winter is slightly more tolerable. If it gets too hot then you can’t strip down completely and get any work done. So you have to use fans and the AC, but power companies always up their rates during this time of year. So blatantly greedy.
An interesting theory. Though one could see it making a little sense to cause the riot, filter out the weak-minded, and then work on finding a way for the stronger survivors to continue. Maybe that’s a bit too evil.

“So you have to use fans and the AC…”
Unless, of course, the A/C breaks down; as ours did this past weekend. Damn hot outside made for nearly unbearable inside even with fans blowing full speed.
Riots used as population control. What a concept. But while the military might stoop to such, do you think scientists would?
LikeLike
That sucks. The one in my son’s room might be going, which has me worried. As far as scientists stooping to that level, I could see a few, but not all. Yet, the information getting into the hands of a person who would is a possibility. A scientist could simply trust the wrong person.

Interesting. As far as the temp and people reacting, it probably deals with if one is used to it. I’ll admit that my tolerance for cold was destroyed by living in Florida for 4 years. Haven’t had much luck with the heat too because that seems to always be more brutal.

Coming back to Greece after Edinburgh was excruciating at first. I’m more used to the heat now, but it still bugs me.

Don’t think I’ll ever get used to the heat. Probably because it felt like we didn’t get much of a break between winter chills and summer sweats.
