I tend to think of most of the crazy folks either being in or from Texas.

But I do note that you seem to have your share, as well.

South FL here ..... although I've seen more out-of-state license plates over the last few weeks than in-state so I'm not sure WHERE I am some days, lol. Finally getting a bit of a break from the heat this week, able to shut the A/C off last night, yay!

I take a business trip every August to the area just outside of Boston & even in August I FREEZE my tail off!! LOL!

One night the fire alarms went off at my hotel & I was just about to drift off to sleep. I grabbed my shoes & headed outside to figure out what was going on. It ended up being a minor issue but we were stuck outside for about 45 minutes - I looked like an absolute NUT, shivering in the summer night because it was downright chilly to me! I so wished I had thought to grab a sweater or jacket on my way out of my room.

I know, it's nuts! But after decades of being exposed to high humidity and year-round heat I start shivering once the temps dip below 75 degrees. I attend a seminar in the Newton/Waltham area (sometimes in Boston proper) and on breaks I go outside & stand in the direct sunshine to warm up.

Even the A/C in the hotel room always seems set too cool for me, thin blood here!! LOL!

Greeting from Northern Michigan here.

21 inches of snow fell on Sunday.

While visibility is about ZERO, the good news, the wind chill is actually above zero today, things are looking up!

And there will be plenty of snow for Santa and his sleigh! So all the little munchkins can relax now!

Absolutely! I will call upon my magic pixie dust powers, lol.

Seems like there's ALWAYS something going on semiar-wise in Orlando... we just have to pick one with short hours & lots of free time to explore & shop. Lots to do & see there!
