Who likes to sit and sweat? I know I’ve mentioned this a lot, but today it really reminds me of it. Why and how can people like 90-degree weather? I mean there’s really nothing you can do that doesn’t include sweating. As you here in Chicago know, today’s high is supposed to be close to 100 degrees, and well it sucks. Sweating all day just doesn’t appeal to me; I guess I should be going farther north. Not only am I allergic to (or just dislike) the heat, my skin rather dislikes the sun. I am unlike one of those who like to go soak up some cancer, also known as tanning. If I’m out in the sun for any length of time, I turn red, get really burnt, and then start peeling a couple days later. The outcome of this is a little bit darker red skin, not a tan skin. So needless to say me and heat and sun don’t get along. I know lots of people say they like summer season the best, so I just have this question, does anybody really like this 90-degree weather?

i hear you i cant stand this heat as well.
I just thought of the vicious circle: we use AC to keep cool, which uses freon, which depletes the ozone, which increases the likelihood of getting cancer, which may increase the chance of people staying indoors, which would increase the amount the ac is used, which increases the amount of freon being used and increases the chance that some may be released into the atmosphere.
Side note: legally refrigerants are supposed to be released into the atmosphere anymore, (so technically my vicious cycle thought “shouldn’t” happen, but “accidents” do happen. And other countries, like developing countries, release freon.
But yes, it sure is HOT! I wish my car ac worked! and the bad freon was still available!
You ask if anyone likes that kind of scalding heat. Well, yes…kind of. I’m from Alaska, where you can imagine it’s freaking cold. I lived there til I was 8, then moved to Missouri…where it’s also freaking cold in the winter. I lived there til after I graduated college, and every single bitter, freezing winter, I promised myself would be the last one I spent there. Now I’m in Texas, which I love. Here’s how it works: The summers are so suffocatingly hot that no, I don’t think anyone really LIKES them. You race to the air-conditioned car, then race to the air-conditioned house, covered in sweat in the 10 seconds you just spent outside. But it’s worth the tradeoff for the incredibly mild winters. Not a bit of snow! You hardly even have to wear a coat. I don’t care if I never see snow again. True, a California climate would be ideal, but my very nice, $150,000 house here in Texas would be worth about 15 bucks in California, and I’ve be living in an apartment. So yeah, I like the heat…kind of.
You say that a person should ask if he/she wants to be added to your list of links. So I’m asking. Can I be your friend?
Crap, I made a typo in that comment. I hate when I do that. Meant to say “I’d be living in an apartment.” Arg.
Alaska? wow, I want to go there, i think that would be an ideal place for me. As for being in Texas in the summer, no thanks:) I like snow, however being cold without snow is rather annoying, but I look at it this way: You can always put more clothes on, but can only take so many off.
