We finally got some rain last night. Even our native plants were beginning to dry up. They are happy this morning.  It has been so hot and dry I have had to add water to the pool every week for over a month. Our rain barrels have been empty for months.

Air conditioning and beaches are your friend.

Wet spring for me. I have to mow the lawn every 4-5 days it seems.

Lived in Winter Park, FL from 79 - 82, that was all I could take.  Was also in Tampa for my last year in the Air Force 74-75

Air conditioning and beaches are your friend.
. . . And swimming pools.
 . . . And the scenery (bikinis make it worth going outside).

At least in my part of Florida, May and September are usually perfect.  It is mid-June t Mid-August that are killers.  That's when we fly to places like New England or Michigan, or a few years ago, Alaska and Canada.  We had a few hot days this May but things are back to '70s and'80s now with low humidity.

I don't understand how people live up North in the winter.

Living in Illinois made me move to Florida, mainly because my wife is a cracker.
Living in Florida made me move to Georgia, been here since 1982.

You can dress for winter weather and go outside and be fine. You can't take  enough off in the heat and be comfortable. I don't like staying inside in A/C 24/7.

Up until last year I agreed with you.  Then I lost >40# and miraculously, the heat doesn't bother me as much.
(And I'm aiming for about 20#s more).
But even before that, the beach and the pool and the fact that everywhere is air conditioned made it tolerable.

So the solution is for all fat people to move up north.

I think you mean the michelin tire man.  Of course, some of us look like the Pillsbury dough boy when we are on the beach in shorts and a t shirt.

especially those that would want to wear a bikini, if you know what I mean.

Big cells rolling through here in W/N FL last night thru this past afternoon, tornado warnings. No biggy.

I flew east today. Weather enroute. Landed at RDU about 2 pm and it was a bumpy approach. Pilot had mentioned “low ceilings” and nobody had their window open so I was in a closed off box and couldn't see outside and had no idea where we were and so feared a missed approach the whole way until I felt a big “bump” and realized we had touched down. Yay, I get to live another day. First class roast chicken was good. I will NEVER fly in the back again. All they do in first class is treat you like a human.  Been raining cats and dogs here ever since. My Uber driver was named Mohammed. He was actually a righteous man, we had a good conversation about how to do right by your spouse.

Skiing's the best!  And yes, girls ski in bikinis in the spring.

Tomorrow is expected to be a bad day with strong lightning and potential for EF2 tornados.

Usually when that is forecast it doesn’t develop.

We will see.

Tried to get the drone up this afternoon but the thing hates me. Can’t get it to consistently recognize the controller. When it does, the stupid camera doesn’t work.

Drives me nuts.

Things not recognizing what they’re supposed to drives me nuts too, like when my phone refuses to recognize my hearing aids.

But why would the camera not work when it does connect to the controller?

I was having the same problem.  I opened up the drone and found a small transmitter in there with Chinese writing on it.  I removed the transmitter and all works well now.
(Actually, I wrote down all the steps so I didn't miss one or get it out of order.  I made sure the battery and controller is fully charged.  And then I found that the little usb to lighting cord from the controller to the Ipad mini was frayed and replaced that.  Now it works perfectly; . . . more than half the time).

That righteous weather moved through here last night.  The light show was fantastic, but it was strangely quiet.
Then I put my hearing aids in.  Wow!  At least we don't have to manually water any plants today.

I'm 6 ft. 150 lbs. and the heat doesn't bother me, but the film does. Still, I put on a wool sweater at 70F, so maybe you have a point.
