Aren’t some of their volcanoes active? What about Tsunamis? Which according to the Japanese, are formed when Godzirruh slaps a blue whale with his dong.

We usually get one or the other. We’ve had 3 years of mild of both up until this summer, which even it hasn’t been the worst. Mother nature’s been holding it in and she’s getting ready to ‘splode one of these seasons.

Living by the ocean is awesome in the summer. But unless in a place like you were Nada where it stays 50+ in the winter, that awesomeness vanishes like a fart in the wind.

Here in Delaware it rarely gets really cold. Problem is you get that wind off the ocean and that shit will make you downright miserable. I was trying to describe the difference of colds to my cousin up north, and best I came up with is where it’s a lot colder up there, it takes a little bit to catch up to you. Down here even though it’ll be 30 degrees warmer, you throw 20-30 mph coastal winds in the mix and you’ll be a shivering son of a bitch.

Kansas City usually has one or the other. This past winter was really mild. We had 3 inches of snow total. The two winter’s before we had 30+ inches each and normal summers (a few hundred degree days, but mostly 90s and some rain.) This summer has been 100+ degrees since June (however, right now it is 84 degrees. Coolest 2:30 pm temp since the June. It is lovely out.) My place has had less than an inch since May. I haven’t mowed in 10 weeks. That is on the extreme end.

he year I left we had 45 days straight where the temperature didn’t get above -18….that’s 18 with a – in front of it and a snow storm on Memorial Day.

Fuck that. I’ll take the heat. Our coldest winters will have a handful of days that don’t get above 10 degrees. Maybe three or four at most. I enjoy Kansas cold (20s.)

Plattsburgh, NY and Van Burnen, ME would like a word about that.

Really? I would imagine most places would have either extreme heat and mild winters or mild summers and extreme winters, not both. That sucks.

That’s right. I remember that. The last time I was in Westport was late May for my brother’s bachelor party. I was impressed. When I lived in that area I never went to Westport because of the nightly brawls.

We went to Buzzard’s Beach, Kelly’s, McCoy’s, and a few other bars that had changed names and oh boy I was drunk. Where did you stay in KC?

By chance since you like Radiohead, MMJ is playing Starlight on Monday. Freaking Monday. Tuesday will be rough for me.

Westport is better now. It had become a crime ridden, violent hellhole. Lisk seems like a Waldo area guy. Tons of bars within walking distance, inculding a brewery. Waldo Pizza and their 8000 varieties of beers. Family friendly.

Ice storms are the worst.

Nothing is as bad as Lincoln in the winter.

It’s the worst, Jerry, the worst!

Also, still adjusting to Skinny Rex. He doesn’t look right.
