I totally hate the ****ng winters up here, are you kidding me? I love the summers, but the humidity does get a little out of hand.
Sorry about your miserable train ride though Tim. Have you ever considered taking a job out here in berbs?

I'd be stoked if it could be fall year-round......

60 during the day, 40's at night......

Perfect.

SoCal would be about the closest thing to that...

Thats a bit chilly. 72 for the hi, and 55 for the lo. You'd never need AC or heat...

I think I know where you are all coming from. It's Called Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder-RSAD


Seasonal affective disorder, also known as S.A.D., winter depression or the winter blues is an affective, or mood, disorder. Most SAD sufferers experience normal mental health throughout most of the year, but experience depressive symptoms in the winter or summer. The condition in the summer is often referred to as Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder.

SAD can be a serious disorder and may require hospitalization. There is also potential risk of suicide in some patients experiencing SAD. One study reports 6-35% of sufferers required hospitalization during one period of illness.[3] The symptoms of SAD mimic those of dysthymia or clinical depression. At times, patients may not feel depressed, but rather lack energy to perform everyday activities.[1] Norman Rosenthal, a pioneer in SAD research, has estimated that the prevalence of SAD in the adult United States population is between about 1.5 percent (in Florida) and about 9 percent (in the northern US).

What a damn shame.

Yeah, I guess I could have this stupid disorder.

Or perhaps I just hate the heat and humidity because I'm fat, Dr. Freud.

But in case I do have RSAD and decide to check myself out over it, I'll be sure and take you and Norman with me.

Sure, I've considered it. Unfortunately, I'd have to take a big pay cut - to make decent money, I have to be downtown.

I'm much calmer now, BTW.

I wouldn't be surprised if I'd posted a thread like this every year about this time - after a hot nasty day in late August or early September when I've just finally run out of patience for it and snapped.
