People in warm climates are lazy-cant blame them-too hot to do anything.bur lay around. People in colder climates are go getters-gotta keep moving.An example is firewood-it heats you twice-once when cutting and splitting and again when burning. Shovelling snow all winter keeps you in good shape too.And keeps you warm. i cant stand heat of any kind anymore.The older I get the better I enjoy the cold.

And the cold winters keep the riff-raff away.
Funny thing we think the same of our heat, humidity, snakes and gators

Coming back from the grocery store the pickup said it's 98 here.

Funny I was the exact opposite. As a kid and young adult I LOVED the winter and the snow. But by the time I was 30 or so I hated it.

Shovelling snow all winter keeps you in good shape too.And keeps you warm. i cant stand heat of any kind anymore.The older I get the better I enjoy the cold. It is amazing how much work goes into preparing for winter. In the old days, you did it or you died. Cutting firewood was always one of my favorite chores. I really, genuinely enjoy it. But I don't think any climate has a monopoly on lazy people. Recently, we had a family of Guatemalan's putting a roof on a house we bought. I guess nobody ever told them they're lazy. The mother, the father, teenage daughter and son, and a little boy and girl keeping the yard clean. Hotter than heck, but watching them work was a thing of beauty. There's plenty of hard working people down South and plenty of lazies up North. No thanks on the shoveling though. I wonder how many hours of my life I've spent shoveling snow. Riding my bike all winter provides the same heath benefits and I have to say, I do enjoy it much more. It's good you enjoy winter. Your fur is much better, that's for sure!

Heat and lack of rain will kill native grasses and trees. Hundreds of live oak trees don't have any leaves on them across my property. Wild persimmon trees have died, algerita bushes didn't bloom, and even prickly pear didn't bloom and some are actually dead. It has been above 100 degrees for a number of days with some up around 110. Those temps with a south breeze feels like a blow torch when I am out in it. I have had trouble keeping my blood pressure up because of losing so much salt as I perspire heavy when out in it. This picture was taken a couple of days ago.
Sit on your horse on top of a ridge, look out across the country and tell me there is no God.

Not so much the heat here as it is the humidity, today the humidity took a break and it's pleasant outside. Had a huge thunderstorm roll through late one afternoon last week so lawn is still green, mowed it earlier. Humidity and crap heat begin again next week though. June has always felt hotter to me than July or Aug. but like was said, maybe by then im just use to it?

The harder you work the hotter you get. It’s obvious who the ones are that don’t work hard.
I always worked hard enough down South that the dingleberries washed out of the gully. Lol

I've lived in Nebraska and I've lived in Florida. I'm going to try Arkansas. I'll definitely take cold over hot. It's bad when you peel your wet clothes off like a rabbit skin.

And the cold winters keep the riff-raff away. Not as long as the Dems run things! Don't matter how cold/hot it is, they are welcomed and taken care of.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

I heated my home solely with firewood for years... And I did it with hardwood, not wimpy northern conifers that fall apart in a stiff breeze. I've worked in everything from -50°F to 150°F. It all sucks in one way or another. Mike
