It's summertime and it's Florida. Did you expect to be ice skating on the ponds?

Seriously, I had heard so much about how brutally hot it gets here in the summer and so far I don't think that it's that bad.

I get up in the morning and it's beautiful. I usually go for a long bicycle ride. I participate in some activities and maybe spend a few hours in mid afternoon indoors in air conditioned comfort. Then I go out and do yard work or do some other outdoor activitIes at 4:00 or 5:00 and it's quite comfortable.

I'll trade this for six months below 40 degrees with temps dipping into the teens and single digits with snow for much of the time.
