Hot

It's hot down here. Not just 'my, it's a nice day' hot but 'holy crap! will it EVER get below 60 degrees for more than 30 seconds?' Don't get me wrong, Florida is a great place to live and work. My daughter can play outside year-round. My wife and I can go for evening walks. I threw out our old ice-scrapers (and if you don't know what they are, you're lucky). And we never have to shovel snow. But some days...

One thing about most of the USA--change is constant. If you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes and the sun will come back. But Mid-Southern Florida's different. It's sunny. Every day. It's warm and sunny. Every day. There's no break ever. Imagine listening to your favorite playlist. Now imagine if you could only listen to that playlist until the end of time. That's what it's like living in Florida. Beautiful, but monotonous.

Of course, down here the alternative to monotonous is a hurricane. So it could be worse.
