Hello everyone, and welcome to the wonderful heat wave!

Some people hear "July" and think of beaches, barbecues, and whatever else is on a seasonal candle label.

Others? Not so much.

Let’s make this interesting: What’s the most non-summer thing about you right now?

Are you wearing all black in 100 degrees?
Reading horror novels while everyone’s posting vacation pics?
Still pretending it's October? 🎃

I’ll go first: I’m drinking hot coffee, wearing Doc Martens, and avoiding sunlight like it owes me money. 😂

Your turn!

    This past weekend I remembered that the lights on the bottom half of our Christmas tree went out. So I’ve been browsing online for new pre-lit Christmas trees. 😁

    I suppose the most non-summer thing about me is I never wear shorts, and I have my omnipresent jacket (the jacket is for indoors because many businesses chill the air too much for my comfort).

    It is not easy to be "non-summery" here right now in the So Cal desert. It was around 111 and we were just out in back enjoying some relaxation in the shade. Winter thoughts are far away but the one thing I always like no matter how hot it gets is a good hot cup of coffee. After coming in from the heat outside, the first thing I did was make myself a cup of coffee.

    I put on my winter snow boots with while wearing shorts to power-wash my deck…my neighbor said I looked like cousin Eddie.

    @Jeff76 I wonder how many people here get the reference to cousin Eddie?

    I assumed cousin Eddie from Christmas Vacation, but do correct me if there's another one. 😅

    @Quicken Anja you got it! Hilarious movie. He was in several of the vacation movies, but he is best known in Christmas Vacation.

    @CaliQkn I thought so. And yes, great movie!

    First I needed to look up what 'dissonance' & 'Doc Martens' were 🤔 Hoping that Doc Martens were some new type of sultry nightgowns, but turned out to be just a pair of dumb shoes! Anyway, back to topic on hand. Normally don't paint in summer. But trying to follow shade around my house to do tiny bit of touch up painting. It's hot, but hey this is the Sunny Southland after all. What get's you though is the humidity; thick enough to cut it with a knife! Then still hiking a bit. Again, after about 1 hour of trapsing about in the woods; I come out with sweat dripping off my fingertips. People say 'you must be crazy'. I reply, 'Yep, but I ain't dead yet' 😎
