I'm sitting by the pool in my pajamas drinking a Pacifico with a lime. It's cold. Where the **** is summer?
summer's all ****ing bottled up in texas. it's still in the 90s in here at 10:30pm and won't be going into the 70s overnight, ever, tonight. low is in the 80s.

Time to move north. I was at the Reading Terminal Market tonight around closing, they had the A/C on and it was down right cold in there

Only two things come from Texas ... and you don't have any horns.

People up there feel like they gain weight during the winter because they can't be out and about as much as they'd like to be due to snow and just bad weather. Well, I feel the same way, except about summer.
I was going to start a thread about this, but might as well write it here and ask opinions.
A lot of people like to dine el fresco (is it el or al?). Outdoors; on the sidewalk; on a patio. You get the idea. It's all well and good when the mercury reads 60s, 70s and 80s. High 80s at the most.
But what about when its frigging 105-degrees F outdoors??! Would you still CHOOSE to sit on a patio, having dinner with friends or a SO, while you're sweating like a pig?
Does sidewalk dining get a little less popular there in the middle of August when temps hit the 90s? Or do you personally still love it and don't mind the heat and sweat?
To me, it's unseemly and almost uncivilized to be wanting to have a meal outdoors when it's still 100F and you have to have your sunglasses on and perhaps even your sunscreen slathered up. But for whatever reason, the yuppies in this town (Dallas for those who don't know still) seem to not care. They would rather see and be seen in one of the "happening" patio restaurants in the hip part of town. Does that seem rather too pretentious to you? Then again, if there's one word to describe Dallasites, it is pretentious.

no, i opt to eat indoors in the AC when it's really hot & humid. my measure stick is whether or not i'm perspiring. if i'm sweating, i want the AC. i wanna be comfortable while i'm dining.
Part of the reason you gain weight in winter is because you're body starts wanting heavier foods, not just the lack of excercise. beers that don't taste good when it's 90 out may taste good when it's 40. I see there's a launch tonight for Exit 11 from Flying Fish, described as an American Hoppy Wheat, launch at 7 pm Varga Bar and Swift Half. anyone going?

my body starts wanting heavier foods (and drinks) during college football season, in the fall.

I'm having my second little nip of Hendricks gin, a lovely, complex Scottish gin, before off to bed.
