I can't sleep. I'm cold...

[Tom Kitten]

Last time I looked at the calendar it was still summer...But for all intents and purposes summer ended here about a month ago...What's the deal with that?

[MichaelHarris]

1. same here, I got up last night to

pee and it was like trying to coax a turtle out of its shell. Now thats cold.

[Tom Kitten]

3. Well there you go....

My feelings in a nutshell...:D

[MichaelHarris]

4. I tried

using a piece of bread but that damn head just wouldn't come out.

9. well at least

i don't have THAT problem! :)

2. you must live by me

summer's been gone for about a month here too. i got up for work monday and i swear it was near freezing. no indian summer at all this year.

5. Judging by your avatar I do live by you...

Portland. on a clear day I can see Washington (well Mt. St. Helens) from my building.

I'm not really complaining (oh ok so maybe I am) but I'm just not ready for the cold yet...September is usually the nicest month of the year here, weather-wise.

6. On a clear day I can see

OMG what the hell is that in the sky? Nevermind. I'm in the middle of a wheat field in Eastern Washington so all I see is wheat, and the occasional alien.

8. Near Othello?

or wherever? I suppose it doesn't matter (sorry, nothing personal), I used to drive to Spokane on a regular basis and in doing so learned a new meaning to the term "boredom", especially on the road between the Tri-Cities and Ritzville...There was a cool grain elevator I once stopped and took a picture of, however...
Washington is a weird state, geologically...perhaps even weirder than Oregon but I tend to lump the two together....

11. Pullman

south of Spokane.

7. yes it is!

you're right i live in tacoma. and september usually is just beautiful here nice without being hot. we dropped about 25 degrees in one day last month and never went back. i swear we've had rain every day for the last month very unusual we usually dont start that crap untill oct.

10. I hear ya!

I'm not really complaining about the weather here per se because after all this is my home and complaining to the weather gods gets you nowhere but I could have used another few weeks of warm sunny skies...I guess I played the grasshopper once too often when I should have been an ant!

I'm starting to yawn now so maybe I'll give sleep another chance!
Nice talking to you...:)

12. It's global warming...

13. It's been FREEZING in Seattle

Ye gads, I thought it was just me, since I came back from steamy Texas. I actually came down with a cold over the weekend (hence why I'm up at 5 after my NyQuil crash last night) :(

[MichaelHarris]

14. I didn't know you lived in Seattle

whats the weather for the eastern side of the state? I hardly watch TV since I started building my time-consumming, hair-pulling, finger-bashing, sailboat.

[flamingyouth]

15. Yes, I do live in Seattle, but I don't watch the news

It's nice and sunny right now, but I sure get cold at nights. :scared:

[MichaelHarris]

18. its like

igloo cold in my shop right now. In fact I think I just saw a penguin using my table saw.

[flamingyouth]

19. Now that you mention it, my hands are very cold

I've been here at the computer for a while, though. I should get up and move around. :)

[MichaelHarris]

20. I moved

downstairs for a coke and still ended back up at the computer, damn thing follows me everywhere. I shoulda realized that wireless internet in my house would lead to 'do nothing all day' syndrome.

16. I'm awake now...

In fact it's the next day and I'm at work and I go home in about three hours!
It looks like summer has returned for it's last full day. Pretty foggy this morning, though. I think fog is cool.

As for sleeping, I finally figured it out and got an extra afghan out of the closet and threw it over my feet (those are the parts which get cold)...the heat I have no control over, it comes as part of the rent and I have no thermostat (which is weird in of itself).

Actually, i just thought I'd post again because I'm surprised this thread is still on page one!

17. There seem to be a lot of PNWers in this thread

I live outside Seattle, and I agree, summer ended a while back. This is going to be a loooooong winter. :(

21. It's hot as hell all through the midwest

It's around 80 right now. And has been for the past month or so. We've hardly had a drop of rain, just lots of sun and bright blue skies. It's GREAT, after the crappy summer we had. Which was cold and overcast.
