Day 326 of 1000

We had a few days of heat a week or so back up around 105 degrees.  Then we got a series of thunderstorms that brought the high temperature down to about 85.  That would not be so bad if it were not so muggy.  It is about the opposite here as in Oregon.  In Oregon there are about eight months of drizzle followed by four months of the most beautiful place and weather in the world.  The good months are in the summer.  In North Carolina there are about eight months of good weather (I count the two or three weeks of freezing and snow as good because that is they way I was made), followed by four months of humid inferno.  Maybe what we ought to do is try to figure out a way to live in North Carolina during the Fall, Winter, and Spring, then head out to Oregon for the summer.

It seems kind of crazy that the places that seem to be prospering most in the current economic climate have about the worst weather conditions in the lower 48–Texas, North Dakota, Montana.  What is that all about.  I guess if you are tough, you can handle all conditions climate and economic.
