You can experience all four Texas seasons in one day in Texas: Hot, Hot, Hotter, and Slightly Less Hot.

I call them Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Not Summer.

New Mexico's had SO much rain the last month or so, I've never seen it this green. The desert here is greener than the prairies I crossed to get here!

 

[Dei]

That's actually San Jon, is it not?

And yes, New Mexico is the only state of the Union where you can legit experience all four seasons in one day, just driving from one end of the state to the other.

Yeah, definitely not the only state.

Pictured: not exactly the desert of my youth

You know what state has weird seasons? South Carolina. Hot, Hot, Slightly Less Hot, then Blistering Cold.

I spelled your name wrong the first time and had to edit. I guess the alerts don't show up when that happens.

I actually use that "feature" occasionally. Sometimes I want to mention someone without alerting them.

Buffalo has Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.

 

[Emrys]

You and your hoity-toity actual seasons.

All the regular seasons, but no Post Season.

Not really. He replaced Autumn with Fall.

You look like you're around the corner from Radiator Springs.

I actually feel a little mean for my last post here, yet y'all are rating it funny, so . . .

Not really. He replaced Autumn with Fall.

Aye. That's because Autumn is when the Bills Fall out of contention.

Gettin' into "Trying too hard" territory, there.

It's hard to think of many things more frustrating than watching older relatives try to deal with comcast on the phone, or struggle with the concept of not needing a land line, etc.

Friend brought over anti-mosquito tiki torches to the fire I had last night. I was like dude did you just buy those? How many weird looks did you get?

He responded that he in fact, did not just buy those and that they had been in his garage for years unused. He then told me I was fucking crazy if I thought he would be buying tiki torches anywhere for a little while.

Way to go Nazis, you have really damaged the sacred tiki torch reputation.

This is why you get your minority friends to buy the torches for you. Kinda like having your upperclassman buy your booze.

When I was at a family reunion out on LI earlier this week, we always have a multi-team "Olympics", and we always start with a silly "opening games ceremony" with the youngest kids parading up the driveway with tiki torches. We realized halfway through the games we forgot the ceremony, and in light of recent events, we'd skip it this year.

Thanks, Obam...er, Nazis!

I'm not evil. Just mischievous.
And it would seem I'm not a robot, but an Eoladi.

My daughter just wrote an "Are you a dog or a cat" test. I mean, she actually made it. I'm so proud of her. I would post it here but it has pictures.

Fiddler on the Roof makes me bawl like a little girl who dropped her ice cream.

"What do we leave? Nothing much. Only anatevka."

"TRADITION!"

Fiddler on the Roof was great.

I can't find the right clip so *insert Newhart finale scene of the townspeople singing Anatevka*
