Depressing? I recall the summer of 2011 in Texas where the highs hovered near 110 and the lows got down to the mid-80s with no rain at all for the whole season and the media in a tizzy about an "extreme drought". You could go jogging at midnight and it was still 88 degrees.

THAT was depressing.

This summer is invigorating. Lows in the low 70s with occasional cloud cover and showers. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Screw these New Yorkers that can't enjoy the weather. I'm loving it.

Sounds like a moderate summer here in Phoenix -- like this one -- except we do usually see a few rainstorms.

The first summer I spent in Dallas, in 1980, was a hot one for Dallas, with over 100 days of over 100 degrees. That pretty accurately describes an average summer in Phoenix.

And I love it!

Yep. Only a handful of 100 degree days in north central Texas so far. If New York wants them, we can trade.

I love this summer in Georgia...a respite and a blessing...
