I Feel Alive

Just sitting here sweating tonight at almost 11:00 pm (23.00 hours) and realized I love this type of heat. Hot, muggy, lots of sun. It makes me feel alive.

It's probably because I grew up in this type of heat each summer in Missouri, but it is a wonderful feeling to have some of this type of weather in the normally rainy, cool, lower Rhine valley in Germany (think Seattle).

Glad you enjoy it. Me? Give me Northwest Ohio weather--80's and I'll love it.

I don't know, I grew up feeling this kind of heat every summer in Iowa and I can't stand it. ;) There's no accounting for taste!

Sayin that I'm a bit eccentric would probably be too nice.
I think it is exercising in this type of heat that reminds me of home and my youth.
Sitting around in the heat at work or in the house is pretty harsh.

I have enjoyed reading your post for awhile and never knew you were from Missouri. What part are you from? I live in Columbia
