Choices during the summer.
1. Get used to it. Took me 2 years. I like the heat. 70 feels cold.
2. A/C
3. Beach
4. Outside bar with shade and mist of water blowing around
5. We do have seasons down here. "Winter" is little rain, temps in the 80s and mostly perfect weather. The plants hibernate (or whatever it is). The squirrels gather their nuts for the "winter". Summer is our crappier time. Rain for an hour most days. Plants, insects and animals turn into something out of Doom. Still, don't go out at dawn or dusk and the rest of the days are good. Watch out for the damned fire ants. Florida critters would eat Illinois critters for lunch.
6. I have lived in cold and I have lived in warm and, trust me, warm is better.
7. I'm sitting outside in my shorts watching Thursday Night Football and drinking some good tequila right now.
8. Blatant commercial message... If anyone does want to move to Florida's Gulf Coast, PM me. I can fill you in on what it's like in the different coast areas and help you buy a home if you want to move. Thanks!
9. Back to our regularly scheduled "cold builds character" program...
