I have to go - my boss just came in and I don't want to have to explain the sudden bursts of laughter coming from my office.
Company lackey slave.

The humidity is back today - yuck! I blame it on th Yankees.
There are some days when you Northerners just have to cool off somehow.
By the way, we're not so hot down here. Our cars have A/C, and most buildings have central A/C. Come on down and enjoy the modern conveniences!
Yeah, we're supposed to have it all weekend.
Every time I mention moving to FL to my husband, he reminds me how uncomfortable it was there in the summer. I say it's worse here in the summer since we're not adjusted to it. So, I guess I'm doomed to being a snowbird for now.
I was talking about highway construction with my dad and mentioned that an overpass they are supposed to be building has been delayed (again) and won't be completed until at least 2025 - then I added that we'd all be living in Orlando by then. He sort of half laughed, and asked if we'd move to Florida when they do. My husband has been pushing this for YEARS - not Florida though, he wants Colorado. The cost of living on Long Island is ridiculous. As well as the congestion. It would be nice to live somewhere more relaxed. But then again, Florida seems to be the epicenter of all cannibalistic rabid zombie behaviour (in addition to having some kooky residents) so I may need to rething this whole thing.

Cool building--hot walk to car--cool car--hot walk to building--cool building. Repeat process.
It's hot outside, and getting into the car can be, initially, an experience in oxygen deprivation. Otherwise, you learn to live with it and it's not that bad. Plus, we don't have to carry those little snow scrapers in the back seat.
Colorado is nice, but they have snow.... and fires. I totally know about the cost of living on Long Island; my son really loves it there, but he depends on that money tree he thinks we have growing in our back yard to make ends meet. He's hoping to move to the Jacksonville area within the next year or so, but I'll believe that when I see it.
My husband's brother lives in Colorado - every time we go to visit he starts the moving there talk. It's beautiful - but having lived my whole life on the coast I am not sure I would want to be landlocked. Psychologically, I'd like to know that a water escape is always an option.
On one of our summer voyages down there when the kids were young, we had a station wagon with vinyl seats. Let's just say it wasn't just the oxygen deprivation that got to us.![]()
We also learned that you don't leave crayons or Magna Doodles in the car.....

Yeah the next renters didn't notice....My daughter did this once with a rental car while we were vacationing in Boston (August). We freaked out, but the rental car people just blew it off and told us to forget about it.
