Maybe I'm the odd guy out here, but I LOVE the summers here. It is like the winters UpNort: you can either curl up in a ball under your electric blanket and wait for April, or you can embrace it and enjoy what it has to offer.

TV summers offer a lot. I do a lot of walking and have found that walking paths in the afternoons are pretty much devoid of walkers. My six-mile route has a Publix at the three mile turnaround point, so a good drink of water before I leave and an ice-cold 20 oz. bottle of unsweetened tea at Publix frees me from having to carry water. Also love the fact that you can walk on virtually every executive course after, say, 1:00 PM and get a tee time. Fewer snowbirds means fewer carts and restaurants where you don't have to wait for 1/2 hour for a burger. All in all, what's not to like?

I'm from Minnesota. I have 70 years of living in a deep freeze to make up for. This is HEAVEN!
