Rave: 3rd favorite month of the year - August.
Rant: Trending downward. June 1, July 2, August 3. May is 4, September is 5, April 6, October 7, March 8, November 9 and the a 3 way [expletive] tie for 10th.

I have sweltered too much in August heat for it to be a fave-flashbacks to football practice, putting up hay.

My birthday's in August. otoh I was 4th out of 6 so nobody gave a damn.

August is the worst month, if you live in the sun baked desert hell scape like I do.

Actually this year hasn't been too bad. I think we've only hit 100 twice so far. 2011, when mrs zeus was last preggers, we hit 100 90 times.

Ninety.

Yeah, but August is the last month in which summer is a sun baked desert hellscape. It's the one and only summer month in which the light at the end of the tunnel isn't a train. June, July- when it's eight billion degrees, there's not much you can do because you know there are at least two more months of eight billion degree weather coming your way.

Yeah, this summer has been pleasently cool. Almost too cool. I went to a pool two weeks ago and it was too cold to get in....Middle of July.

Your dry heat is nothing. NOTHING.

STL weather hasn't been that bad this summer. But the 5 days I spent in Toronto make me want it to be July again because the temperature was usually in the 70's or lower.

Yep, growing up August meant two a days and haying. Then it was back to school. Worst month of the year by far as a youngster. Now that I'm older and we quit haying it's better. However it's still generally hot and it seems like corn harvest is starting earlier and earlier every year. I think it will hold off until September this year but the last few years we had the combine rolling in August.

Not a fan of August. It's the 8th or 9th best month.
