Dear So and So

[azfiddle]

Bethany, sympathy for you and your DH on the car ...

Marni- Tucson has been in triple digits for sometime, and our morning lows have also been around 80. Monsoons finally arrived and we just got the first rain in 82 days last night, but that means the humidity is here too.

[OakLeaf]

Hey, you could be in Ohio, 90° for two days and 65° for two days, since May. At least if it would stay one temperature I could get acclimated.

Dear former Louisiana resident

Summer doesn't come until sometime in July.

Now you know why we wear wool all year round.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Seems the TE shopping trip to REI fell through last winter.
In my southern latitudes former homes, you don't ever put away all your summer clothes, and apparently here, you keep some wool on hand year round. I just need help juggling my wardrobe. I don't have enough WARM clothes. But when it's warmer when I walk out the door at 6:30 am compared to the temperature at 11:00 am, my body gets confused.

Dear new guy:
If you would shut up and work (and not watch tv on your computer) you wouldn't have to stay until 7 or 8 to get stuff done. The rest of us are doing four times as much work without staying late.

PS. Put your shoes on. Your feet reek.

Dear sailboat adventuring friends,

Why yes, I will accept your invitation to join you on a voyage from St. John's Newfoundland back to Maine in two weeks.

[jessmarimba]

Oh dear.

Lol. I haven't figured out yet if its his feet or the flipflops he's been wearing since he started college. Probably both. I'm sure you're fine!

Reesha that sounds great, can I come too?

Dear weatherman on the tv

Not only did you go into ecstasies about the pending possible tropical storm which it was clear was never going to make it into this drought ridden state, but you spent 12 minutes of the one hour evening news going into ecstasies about how this June was the hottest one ever!!!! The jumping up and down was a bit much.

Maybe you're one of the reasons we have such hot winds, and then to spend another minute gleefully contemplating the possibilities of July and August will continue to break records for lack of rain as well as temperatures.

Really, what is wrong with you?

[alexis_the_tiny]

Seriously, SEVEN pages on shaving legs? I hope they were jesting...

Bethany, good grief, what's wrong with them???!?!!

Dear client,

I'm trying. I really am. But, I can't force you reply to email messages or talk to me. You're going on vacation starting...um, in a few hours. When you return, we're supposed to present this round of work to your executive leadership. I'd like to help you succeed, but I can't do it for you.

Regards,
The consultant billing you for time you're not effectively utilizing

Dear Little M,
You're really sick. I hate to think of you all wired up in the hospital. You're just 18 months old. Everyone is working as hard as they can to figure out what's wrong and to make you better. We've only known you for a few months, and your addition to the family has been incredible. We love you very much.

Dear Doctors,
Please help her. She's had such a hard little life so far, but it was really looking up until she got sick. She needs you.

Tulip,

I'm so sorry to hear about Little M. I'm sending some positive vibes her (and your) way.

Hey, you could be in Ohio, 90° for two days and 65° for two days, since May. At least if it would stay one temperature I could get acclimated.

I hear that up here in MI, too. Last year I did several long bike rides (metrics and longer) in the 90s...they were uncomfortable, but doable. Almost a month ago we had a day in the mid 90s with high humidity and I was ill after <20 miles. We have no acclimation to anything much above 75, this year. I'm kinda dreading a century through Death Valley in Oct. I don't deal well with heat under the best of circumstances. I'm kinda worried about doing heat and dry and sun without any acclimatization.
