That's because, much as I love Scotsmen, you live in a godsforsaken country too northerly for your own good.

I'm somewhat further south than Frankie but it doesn't stop us from getting our share of snow as well; broken only by rain and the occasional freezing fog of course. It's a good thing we've got the Gulf Stream, else we'd have what could be termed frosty weather all year round.

I can't help if you don't live in a proper temperate climate.

Wait until the summer really kicks in. Then we'll all be complaining that it's too bloody hot.

(We 'Brits' love complaining. It's our National Pastime, after queueing.)

I'm not offended by the "tetties" (cough) comment. I can also mention dicks and balls for that matter. When I do, however, it's usually in something non-relevant to an actual person's dick. For example, I could say that a person doesn't have the capacity of a dick to persuade me to be sympathetic of their persona. I wouldn't say, for example, that I like your dick if your clothing proves that it is too reduced to fit such a huge member.

In any case, one can use the words they seem fit of their personality and which best describes what they are trying to say. I can respond to it as my natural instincts play out, which in this case is neutral. Thank you for the 10/10, though. I can tell you lift.

Regarding spring, summerqueen, all we have is summer! Mostly.

Too bloody hot in the UK?!?! That's not possible! (well, perhaps indoors, if you leave the heating on...)

Heh, we're not that far south, jrsm - where are you at? Apologies if you've said before - my attendance here is spotty.

Then you obviously aren't a member (urgh, pardon the pun!) of Area 69

[Fruity]

I'm at southern Arizona (I know) . Supposedly, we have all four seasons, of course. I have my air conditioning system on today, though. This will go on until probably late November. Then it will get fresh. Just enough for people to run to the store and buy coats and boots, because they can't wait to get the latest fashion trend. Don't really need them, though.

I've heard about area 69. No, I'm not a part of this one. This one, because I truly think the world is one large porn film. Think about it. There's literally 69s going on as we speak.

Though I'm not a member of that area, If I ever were to join I would defenitely open up more, er, be less tactful, er, less shy about being direct about other members (cough) since the purpose of the area is that and everyone is compliant.

I visited a friend in New Mexico last spring - in April, actually. Jesus I can't believe it's been about a year already. Anyway, he does a lot of skeptical investigations and has "connections" so we were able to stay at a couple nice "haunted" places and do interviews and such to be written up. One of them was also a place he had done consumer investigations on - a hot spring with pools of different mineral waters. The water was hot...the weather...surprisingly chilly! I wore pants (outside of the pools) the whole time! Lost the jacket by mid-day, but definitely needed it at night.

Anyway, it was a beautiful visit and a beautiful place, though I can't say if Arizona is entirely the same scenery. Creeped me out because there was so much SKY. Here, the land in the piedmont is rolling, and hilly, and any further west just gets more and more so as you approach the Blue Ridge, and there are trees EVERYWHERE. Life always seems to be bursting at the seams of civilization here, especially in spring and summer, and you get the feeling in some of the more dilapidated parts of town that in two or three years, an abandoned building could almost disappear from view...swallowed by the vegetation. In New Mexico, it was just the opposite. I could understand why there'd be ghost stories there, as things simply got grayer, and drier, until eventually they might flake away...until then they looked like ghosts themselves. I took pictures of the few trees - the cottonwoods and the junipers I think. The only thing binding in the horizon were the mountain formations.

I do remember that one former member, Epimethean, he told me that in Arizona when it rains, the land sounds almost like it's moaning as everything wets down.

And it was so deadly quiet. We got off the highway a couple times to walk in the some of the hill formations, and it was disconcerting. Here, in the quieter parts of the city or out in the country, there is always a noise - a rustling and clacking in winter of dried leaves and bare stems...and in summer a constant swishing resonance like the sea as the wind goes through all the trees. But there... nothing but the sound of our footsteps.
