Oh My; where in the h*!! did summer go?

[Rodger Tellefson]

Did anyone see it go by? :blink::huh: WOW, it is true that as one gets older time does go by faster.

I know what you mean. I'm usually ready at this point for the kuds to be back in school. This year it just seems to soon and too quiet around here during the day. But then again, I'm definitely looking forward to some cooler weather. This last month or so has been brutally hot.

It's all relative... Age does make the years seem to go by faster, but there's a perfectly logical scientific explanation. Figure that summer is 1/4 of the year. When you're 10 years old, one summer is 1/4 of 1/10, or 1/40 (2.5%) of your life. Sure, 2.5% may not sound like much, but consider that it's 2.5% of everything you know in life. As you get older, that percentage goes way down. For example, at just 30 years old, a single summer is 1/4 of 1/30, or 1/120 of your life. That's only 0.83%. So relatively, it is a much shorter time.

I wish summer was over already... I'm sick and tired of +100F temps. Can't wait for the 2 days of Fall we get in Okla before sub freezing temps hit

Seattle summers don't last more than 10 weeks. Soon enough we will get lots of rain again. We've only had three days of 95 plus heat. Otherwise, I'm enjoying the 75-85 degree sunny days while they last.

Darin,



I don't even remember more than a handful of days that were sub-freezing last winter in OKC. Wasn't it in the 80s in January and February a few days? Of course, we did have that one morning where it went to 7 degrees. It nearly killed my neighbor's tree, since she watered it the day before that cold came. She froze the roots. I think it rained four times all winter too. I've been in OKC three years now, and it doesn't even seem to have a winter. Just a few days of freezing rain and a dusting of snow...

Actually Nelson I was making fun of the lack of a fall/spring in Oklahoma. We just seem to never have moderate temps, just more of the extremes.

 

[Nelson Atwell]

OK, now I understand. You are right. I don't know if this is normal, but there doesn't seem to really be moderate weather here. Either hot as hell, freezing cold or 60 mph winds. Fortunately, there have been no tornados since I arrived (knocking madly on wood).
