Man, I know my thermometers were all saying it was 60 degrees outside today, but it sure as heck didn't FEEL like it. Connie said the same thing. It felt more like 40 degrees. The cold air just felt painful on our bare skin.

I'm thinking I might want to buy a couple of more vehicles to try to contribute more CO2 to the atmosphere and get that global warming stuff here a bit more quickly. What exactly is supposed to be the downside to warmer weather anyway? People up north just don't like it?

Sweat! The downside is sweat! I love working outside this time of year because I'm not soaked in sweat and it's not running in my eyes with gnats or mosquitos bothering me. I can always put more clothes on if I get cold but there are only so many you can take off when it gets hot.

Heck I might go through 3 or even 4 changes of clothes during the summer when I am working outside, but I really don't mind that. It's my chance to lose some weight. Much better than paying to work out in a gym. Plus I can always jump into the pool to cool off.

Now mosquitoes, yeah, not real fond of them, and they will keep me inside if they are too thick. But we have them here even in the Winter months, so it's really just the luck of the draw as to when we will get those horrendous blooms of them. And oh yeah, let's not forget yellow flies. THOSE little monsters will keep us barricaded in the house when they are roaming free looking for blood. You can ignore a mosquito bite, but them? No way. Those suckers HURT.

But cold temperatures in general? Got no use for it. It belongs in the refrigerator, freezer, and air conditioner, and nowhere else in my life.

Now moderate temperatures, like in the mid 60s to mid 70s, yeah, that's perfect weather for me to be working outside. Like today, for instance. Was outside clearing out some small trees and just broke into a light sweat and moderate blisters on my hands.
