It sure feels that way during our sunny, moderate, and daylight-filled summers, but the cold, dry, dark winters get old pretty fast. Canada Geese have a good system. High of -11F today, and it's supposed to get down to -29F tonight. It has been a cold winter, or at least it seems that way to me. Fortunately, by this time of year I'm used to it and it doesn't seem that bad. I'm looking forward to spring though.
That's my point. I want to be able to look forward to spring. Heck, I want to have some, instead of nine-month-long summers. I want to be able to dress like a grownup: long pants and sport jackets, and real shirts with sleeves and collars, instead of polo and T-shirts and (gack!) shorts. Bart Simpson is no role model for anybody.
Nine months of any one season, no matter what it is, is too much. If you step outside your door and make a face for nine months of the year, clearly you're living in the wrong place.
