The Long Hot Summer…
Posted by PaulAug 26
…is coming to an end….Thank Goodness!
I am sure there have been hotter summers in Georgia, but I don’t remember one. It makes one think!
Some Random Realizations about Summer
- My gas mileage goes down.
- Fruit is better.
- Corn is better.
- Soup doesn’t taste as good.
- 80 feels like 60 when it was 95 the day before.
- TV sucks.
- The movies are better.
- Watermelon makes me happy.
- The electric bill goes UP.
- Pregnant women look more miserable.
- Expectant fathers look more anxious.
- Way too much skin is exposed.
- The gym is packed.
- Yardwork is less inviting.
- Time with friends is better.
- Picnics aren’t as much fun as they look on TV!
- Rain is more welcome.
- If you leave your Bluetooth in the car all day and put it in your ear, you may cuss!
What’s your summer realization?

Virginia, not a single RTA bus. Beautiful mornings after a night’s rain. It is like God washed the air and I can see for miles. Fog laying in the valleys.

Hey, thanks for you comment on my post over at Real World. WOW, congrats to your mom and dad…71 years. My parents just celebrated 60.
I wish I could have had that……..well, had that and been HAPPY to have had that.
good luck with the HS reunion. I have never been to one.
My summer realization is …wow, where did all that muffin top come from…..when I try and wear those cute little summer cloths.

A gin & tonic drink will taste better in the summer, especilally if you’re relaxing on the back deck enjoying the view.

This summer is not as good as it once was. I’m gonna have to make up for it next summer.

ENJOY!!
