I'll hold the vantage point here in the South, thanks - had my fill of cold in northern climes - New York and Ohio, and points (VA; NC) in between here and those; and South Dakota and Fairbanks, Alaska - and this Florida girl prefers to stay thawed out in South Carolina.
We actually have been cooler than many areas of the nation this summer, seldom and barely breaking 90 - humidity not bad yet.
Love your daily reports on America's light, letting the troops know America is awake and here thinking of them,
and the nation is ALIVE AND WELL THANKS TO THEM.
