A short update that really says not much of anything
I've not had much to report lately. Pretty boring here and obviously an early Spring because my allergies and sinus' have already been bugging me for over a week. Yesterday was really nice and warm so I spent a lot of time outside and tonight they are the worst so far. Still, I will gladly suffer them for warmer weather - I am sick of winter. I like to sit out in the sun and watch the UFOs go by. :-)

I live in the Redwoods of California's North Coast or "Lost Coast" as it is known, and it is pretty much raining 7 months out of the year. Ugh....I feel your pain.
I have an aversion to sunlight and heat. Thats not me being funny, I have actual physical and emotional reactions to it, so I am the opposite. I can;t really deal well with temps above 80, and I prefer temps 70 or below, preferably 60-65. Also, the sunlight has a large impact on my emotional state and leaves me very depressed a lot of the time.
I can *do* heat if I have to and I can trudge through the sunlight, but it's hard work! I can still enjoy things too, but I will always want to run inside and hide in the cool shadows. This is a major part of why I moved to Portland. Cloudcover 70% of the year.
Ha! I'm the polar opposite, Deirdre. I was, as you well know, raised in the Mojave. I love the sun and the heat. But my wife is from here in Humboldt. I'm a lizard and I married a damn salamander! Oh well. I'll just crawl back into my aquarium with the hot, flat, black heating rock and eat my bugs and mice...
Maybe we are part reptilian Erik. :)
Actually when I was younger I really didn't like the hot part of summer at all, really, I hated it. Now it doesn't bother me at all because I just remind myself that it is better than winter. I liked winter a lot more when I was younger, not sure why.
Hey Lesley -
Wintertime magic was pretty much killed for me when I did a brief stint as a Logger in the Rockies of Colorado and Utah. We would continue working into the Winter at elevations between 7500 and 9000 ft. I've had frostbite more times than I can count and I've been hypothermic twice. I'm done with it. I'll take a hot tub and a cocktail any day. And don't forget the Jack Johnson and Jimmy Buffett.
Cheers
That would kill wintertime magic for me too. I still like the first snow and stuff like that, but I am real tired of it by the end.
