That first spring evening

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

I just saw an old man walking his dog dressed in a button up collared shirt, a sweater, a heavy winter jacket, long pants, and a stocking cap. It is 75 degrees and sunny. At least when the warmth gets to you, jim, you're young enough to enjoy it. It must be hell getting old.

It has rained basically for a week straight, it can't get out of the 40's. It is so depressing I can't even begin to describe it. Today it's actually not raining, but it's windy and raw outside. Tomorrow is 69 with a chance of rain, and then back to the 40's with rain. There is rain in the forecast every single day until next Friday, when the rain will mix with snow.

This Afternoon Partly sunny, with a high near 47. West wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

The weather in Chicago SUCKS ASS. It's horrible here.

Now imagine it 120 miles north.

At least you had 60s today.

Last day in the 60s where I live was October 24th.

The weather in Chicago SUCKS ASS. It's horrible here.

That sounds awesome. A month from now, it's going to be 90 degrees for four or five months, with at least a month full of days over 100. And humid. Always humid. [expletive], earlier this week, it was 80 but might as well have been 95 because it felt like hanging out underneath a dog's balls. Come July, I'll be begging for snow and rain and 35 degree temps. Guaranteed.

[expletive] spring. [expletive] summer.

[docellis]

i will like it

[Maclowery]

Give me sunburns, sandals, bikinis, baseball, and humidity. Hell yes. [expletive] snow, [expletive] winter coats, [expletive] painful ears and runny noses, [expletive] ugly dead trees and grimy frozen garbage snow.

[jim]

I saw the sun the entire day and it was in the 60's and it was wonderful. I actually listened to much of the Cards game rather than watch because I couldn't stay inside.

Back to the [expletive] tomorrow.

St. Louis is ghastly in July and August, but I'm fine with the other 10 months. And I would love to live in a place where the worst 2 months are summer, and not winter.

[Fat Strat]

I grilled one of these the other day. I think mine was bigger. 1.33 lbs. Some of that is bone, though. I love spring. And meat. And meat.

[jim]

When you live where I live you don't let lousy weather keep you off the grill. I grill all year long, I certainly enjoy it more during the 2 months of nice weather we get but I'm not going to stop grilling for 10 months.

Snow Friday.

Hey karp - you are going to freeze your ass off at that Cards game in May. You can tell who lives in Chicago and who is visiting in May - the natives will have their winter coats and gloves and stocking caps and the out of towners will be wearing their jerseys and team gear.

[jim]

BIBLICAL [expletive] rains right now.

[JackofDiamonds]

trying to figure out what the expletive is
