Ya i just remembered that when i was working out at the ski resort guests from atl were complaining about not going to be able to swim this summer. I knew they had got alot of rain since then though.

If your in fulton county you cant be to far from my sister.

We lived in St. Louis for a couple of years, and would often go back in the summer for weekends. Finally, one 4th of July weekend, my wife and I decided to never ever again travel to St. Louis in the summer. To darn hot.

We broke our promise last year, went down for a weekend due to a wedding downstate and the fact that I had a couple of Cardinal tickets. We arrived on Saturday, greeted with a high temp of 101.4. The Sunday game we went to was 106.

This time we mean it, never again... Spring is great, fall is great, winter is tolerable, but summer is intolerable.

Alpharetta. But we hope to join with other cities and create our own county soon.....I'm sure it will take time but it will be worth it!

To Jim-I get what you're saying, but I'm used to the heat...and having a pool a block away helps tremendously. I'm your polar opposite...I lived in MSP for 2 winters and that is all I could take. I can't stand the long, cold winters! I'll take my hot, humid summers and mild winters from now on. :)

Too hot = trout die.
Too cold = trout survive, and even thrive.

That might have something to do with my disdain for hot weather.

Conversely:

Too cold = Simbagal whines and cries.
Too hot = Simbagal thrives!

No trout = Jim very, very, unhappy. No reason to live.

I really wish I could make this same, very admirable vow. Unfortunately, I live and work here and actually like my job.

I'm with Popeye on this one. Too much complaining about weather. Time to nut up.

I wouldn't give them grief, but the Fancy Beer Boy complains that St. Louisans are wusses with the snow, and jim complains that people are wusses in general. But oh boy--104 degrees and a little sweat is going to kill me!
