It's in the high 90s with high humidity here in Cryer land. I'll be enjoying the day inside with the A/C.

Re: the longest day of the year aka the summer solstice
Why are people so
about snow? On two different talk radio stations today I heard people talking about how hot it is. Both times the hosts hits back with "At least its not snow!!!!!" On on just now the person talking replied "I'd almost rather have snow right now" and the 3 other people with mics all jumped in "Ohhhh no no no." "No way!" "Dont start that snow talk already!!"
I understand the travel problems heavy snow causes, but just the mere mention of it, in June sends people into hysterics

Re: the longest day of the year aka the summer solstice
It's because it's the other extreme.
People hate it when it's really hot, but they also hate it when it's cold enough to snow.

Re: the longest day of the year aka the summer solstice
I don't like that SS is in June, when there are 2+ months of 'summer vacation' remaining before school starts back up. Seems to me like either SS should be on the exact middle of summer vacation, or that summer vacation needs to be shifted so that the longest day of the year is the last day of summer vacation. After that, shorter days are ok.

Re: the longest day of the year aka the summer solstice
yes eismann what you are trying to say is that being some random day in late june removes the romantic aspect of the solstice.

I'm enjoying the longest day of the year here in Costa Rica, where the difference between the longest and shortest days of the year is about 10 minutes. :pop:

Re: the longest day of the year aka the summer solstice
I haven't really done anything at all today
That said, I never complain about heat because I'd rather have it than cold

Funny how good for you some nice weather is. Being outside, playing sports, swimming, hanging in the sun. I love summer, and I'd take 95 degree days over 25 degree days 11 times out of 10.

In the middle of summer, I say "at least its not cold". Cold is miserable.MRandall25 wrote:It's because it's the other extreme.

To celebrate the solstice (and to thank us for our hard work), my boss is letting us leave @ 3 today.
