And so does Father Time. One extreme or the other... there are things I can't do now that I could do when I was younger. Why can't there be a middle of the road?
If there was, the universe would have nothing to amuse it!
I can relate though. My brain says i'm still 18. My body says oh Hell no you're not!
I'm in Texas and this summer has been ridiculous. We've been breaking records right and left. I went out for my walk last night and at 8:30pm it was 103* still. Jiminy crickets.
I hope we have a freezing winter. I bought a bunch of winter clothes last year for trips to New England and I'll never get to use them if we don't.
I hear ya, Jeze! Once in a while, I'd just like to have a period of time when nothing's extreme. No weird weather events; no drama at the workplace or in relationships; just some regular days when I could coast along and know that nothing will upset the apple cart.

I am so thankful when life is running in a boring routine way.
Solving problems (political or otherwise) is something I explain using a car on a road. We can't drive down the middle!! Something gets out of balance and we over steer and end up in the right ditch. Instead of steering back to the middle we crank it too hard and end up in the left ditch. Right ditch, left ditch, right ditch....
The middle is only a flash as we careen to the other ditch.
I love to scan the Weather Maps in the paper everyday, both the U.S. and the rest of the world. Am always looking at the temps of all the cities I've traveled to.
I look at Dublin and London everyday, among many others, and it gets monotonous just looking at those temps everyday, followed by cloudy, rainy, partly cloudy. Not much different in Amsterdam.
Given the 300 days of sunshine here, you have my compassion! I feel more sorry for the poor who are unable to escape it for an occasional trip to the Mediterrean coast.
But we have our extremes here as well, in Las Vegas, and I'm not looking forward to the cold winter ahead with the wind. Ignore the Las Vegas boosters, you can freeze here in winter!
