I am done with the heat of summer.  I know I have already written one blog post about weather, but this isn’t about the variety of Springfield weather, or which seasons I like best.  The problem with my whining is that it’s not August yet.  The worst of the heat is still to come.  I don’t always go outside, but when I do, I like to not appear as if I have just jumped in a swimming pool from sweat.  I will also cry when winter comes, and it gets unbearably cold.  I probably would like California weather, but so does every other living person, therefore making California uninhabitable from due to overpopulation.  I have considered moving north to avoid the heat, but then the winter is immensely worse, so I don’t know that it’s a smart tradeoff.  Someday I would like to own two homes, and be a snowbird.  One to avoid heat and one to avoid cold would be the game plan.  I wonder how far north one has to go to avoid miserable summers?  Iowa still gets hot in the summer, but I don’t know about Minnesota or anything on the border of Canada.  I guess Canada is always an option too, or Alaska.  That all just seems very far removed.  Maybe mankind can develop weather controlling technology someday, and I can utilize that.  Come to me sweet, sweet autumn, and cool me with your breezes.  Autumn never lasts long enough though, it always has summer bleeding over into it, and winter trying to steal the show before autumn’s end is supposed to come.  That hasn’t actually been true the last couple of years, we have had incredibly mild winters, which has been pleasant.  I am looking for a mild summer now, one in which we don’t cross the eighty degree mark, and can blissfully enjoy the outdoors, without perspiration.
