Ah, 25 is what we got up to today, a nice mild day -- a little warmish for me, I must admit, but far better than the hellish transition from 10, 14 degrees all the way up to 35. Yes, 35 degrees. It then stayed around 30+ before finally dropping back to a lovely 25-ish. Now, if I were just returned from the Caribbean, this would be freezingly cold. Why, when it got down to 27 I needed two sheets on the bed, to keep me warm at night. You may think I'm kidding, but I'm not. :-) It's all in the mind, as it were.
No, I suppose I do like the season's change after all; I just prefer fall and winter -- and early spring -- to summer's heat. I'd be more bothered by endless summer than by endless winter, I admit. As I've always pointed out to my family, it's much easier to get warm (by dressing warmly and by cuddling together) than it is to get cool.
Oh, that reminds me: if you're suffering from the heat (and you probably are), take a clean washcloth and soak it in cold water, wring it out, and keep it with you. Put it on your neck, wipe your face, hold it on a knee -- use the power of evaporation to cool you. I used to do this every summer when I was a kid and we didn't have a/c or fans.
Yes, the old days...
Evil is fun to watch and fun to defeat. Goody-two-shoes are scarier in real life, as they suck all the fun out of everything. Do you realize that in this country, this school district won't allow children to roll down the hill? Because "someone might get hurt".

Sheesh. Give me a Jadis any day.
