What's Wrong With This Picture?

I'm wearing a flannel shirt today. Comfortably.

What's wrong with THIS picture: I'm on the Oregon coast and all I need is a (light) flannel shirt, but I'm in shorts and barefoot otherwise. :b

Geez, sure glad our place isn't gonna dry up and blow away while we're gone.

Nah, we're keeping it nice and moist for ya. Enjoy the break!

I mean, if it was me, I would consider not being in Minneapolis wrong. But I don't think that's generally the case for you.

From this assertion, I can confidently conclude that you are not currently in the general vicinity of the Twin Cities...

No, for me that's only a seasonal affliction.

Your confidence is entirely warranted. And this is one of those times when saying, "It could be worse, you could be in Minneapolis," would actually make sense. This cool, wet lack of summer, while not at all helpful for finishing the painting of my house, beats the snork out of being hot and humid. I really powerfully dislike humid heat.

Lucky you. After opening every window I could find, I got the house down to 75 degrees this morning. Now to strategically start closing drapes before the sun gets high....Our first decade in Colorado, I rarely missed not having air conditioning. The second decade, the period in which air conditioning would be nice seems to get longer each summer.

We hatesssssssssssssssssss it.

I've lived in Seattle for over 20 years and this is by far the most depressing "summer" I've ever experienced. It's almost made me pack up and move back to the desert where I grew up. At least the heat there was DRY. At least there WAS heat. And sunshine.

Today is looking more promising, though.

Early afternoon in Chicago, and it's barely 90°, so it won't get really hot today, but later in the week it's forecast to get bad . . .

We have a basement for those times. We've yet to have a year where we blew up an air mattress and slept down there, but it's a backup plan, should we need it. I was eying the portable A/C units at Costco earlier in the year, but so far, This Is Not That Year.

Yeah, I'm lucky I come from Scandinavia where summers like this are not that weird. I mostly don't mind the cool, gray weather, aside from the fact that the constant threat of rain means I still haven't been able to finish painting my house from last year. The neighbors must hate us.

Okay, I'm dead grateful to be in Seattle now. 70° and mostly cloudy doesn't seem that bad in comparison.
