Summer is our winter, so it can't end soon enough. Wife and I are going to the White Mountains in NE Arizona for two weeks end of August. Also maybe heading to NYC in September to visit our daughter there. August/September are the worst, you just can't wait for it to be done. But it's also football season, woot!

The Gulf is above average warm which fuels all that energy to strengthen them. Add in we had a foot of snow one day this past winter, which was a hundred year,storm. Every time we have snow, we get a bad hurricane. Think Katrina. Speaking of that biotch, twenty eight days till the 20th anniversary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNewGirl 1,580 Posted August 1 We've had a very mild summer so far in the Sacramento Valley, but it looks like August is going to kick our butts in terms of heat. I imagine we will have some fires kick up too in the really dry areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably because you are a Giants fan... (I kid...) Just watch how the other coaches do and if you think you can do a better job next season, step up and volunteer... I watched my son play basketball for three seasons and just complained to my wife about the coaching and what they did at practices and during the games... The following year, I stepped into a head coaching position and we won the championship (drafted well and found playing rotations that worked really well...) He played one more year and was no longer into it, but that was fun coaching... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
