Well I say I couldn't because I would have to bring my wife and children with me. That is no small thing. The children are endlessly curious and touch everything. They want to understand everything about the world and well when you are less than 7 years old that just isn't going to happen. If you give me the invitation to come and bring the wfie and kids you can be damn sure I'll be there the minute, I can take a work vacation. I don't expect you would as I am sure you do not want young children running around your home touching everything. I didn't manage to watch the documentary as things got crazy at work I still want to watch it but until further notice I have to save the school I work for. People did some stupid stuff. I know have to do some more stupid stuff to make sure things don't go sour so to speak. Once its over I am for sure taking a week. I will catch up on documentaries and posts I missed and spend time with my kids and wife. It will be awesome. Wish me luck I'll need it.
In the end of July, I go through a ritual where I child-proof my home. I have some old friends of mine that come spend a week, like clockwork, at the start of August. After that, the house is still child-proof.
If I leave it down and it gets broken, it is my fault. So, I'll let you know how things are shaping up as it gets closer.
Good to know. How’s the weather around that time I know you get a ton more snow than we do.
Warm, beautiful, comfortable - sometimes too hot. For my taste - I'm gonna guess we have different definitions of hot, it's 64 degrees, as of a few minutes ago. That's about ideal for me. I start to melt at 80. I'm inside at 90.
Which is funny, 'cause I used to live in the south and I've been all over the warmer climes, including deserts and equatorial islands.
But, my body has acclimated to the temps here.
People laugh at me when I tell them it's -30 in the winter. When they're 105 in the summer and I'm a breezy 75? That's when I do my laughing. You can always put more clothing on - but there's a limit to how much clothing you can take off and still be socially acceptable.
The last two weeks in August are great - if you want to see how blueberries are harvested. I'm usually busy those weeks (and the first one in September), but I don't have to actually do any of the work - I just do it 'cause I like it and I'm bored. If I have guests, I'll spend less time doing such.
