Timelies,
I actually like summer. Just don't care for the ridonkulous heat we're having right now. I was together with some friends yesterday and one of them commented that she didn't think she'd ever seen me in shorts before. I told her it was because it wass the first time she'd seen me when it was 9 million degrees out.
When I was heading back from lunch, some neighborhood kids were riding their skateboards. In the heat. In direct sunlight. On asphalt. Doing tricks. I actually got outside quite a bit as a kid, but today would have been an inside with the AC playing video games (Commodore 64, baby!) sort of day. Yeesh.

Oh, okay, I'll click, but you're going to have to write a note to my boss explaining why I'm never getting any work done again.
A raise is always a reminder I make too much and will have a helluva time meeting it elsewhere.
I spent most of my childhood outdoors in the summer. I think kids just don't mind getting all sweaty and nasty the way most adults do.
I seem to recall that children as a rule sweat less than adults, and are actually more heat-tolerant in general.
Growing up in Phoenix and LV I was pretty insensitive to the heat. Weather never played a role in whether or not I went outside.
Summer is also my favorite season.
The smaller you are, the more efficiently you cool, IIRC. Plus, as a kid, I never worried about being sweaty. I wouldn't now, but I do every now and again have to be presentable.
Plus I do my own laundry.
Weather never played a role in whether or not I went outside.
Winter rain would drive me inside. Because, you know, I might melt. Plus it was cold.
I still love the sensation of your skin tightening up when you walk outside into 100 degree dry heat. It's refreshing.

I didn't know you were made of sugar.
