I picnic in winter when it's 75 with decent humidity, not July when it's 5,000 degrees and 345% humidity. Most northern transplants never catch on to this simple truth. They have heat strokes trying to do their outdoor activities in the summer, simply because that is what they always did. You gotta be some kind of special dummy to go out in this heat and claim it's fun.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286464602579225993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-41464930077083681822013-06-22T04:31:47.601-04:002013-06-22T04:31:47.601-04:00LOL, having ONE of those days eh???LOL, having ONE of those days eh???Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-57999270534526455502013-06-22T01:26:01.949-04:002013-06-22T01:26:01.949-04:00Stephen,
