I hate winter.

There was a time when I enjoyed winter, but that time's gone. Maybe it's just Indiana, but winter just sucks now. I looking at the snow. I feel like I'm looking out upon a desert. Actually, I can pinpoint exactly when I started hating winter. It was the winter of 2000. It was the suckiest winter of human history. It was so cold for so long, and it took forever for the snow to melt. Everyday you woke up and there was more snow. It was a pretty bad winter all the way around because everyone ended up with these wicked ice dams on their roofs and caused a lot of water damage when it did finally warm up and things started to melt. That happened to be the winter we bought our house and got to experience such joys of home owernship. We hadn't even moved into the house yet and we ended up with all this water damage that had to be repaired before we moved in. And, of course, insurance never covers all of it, so right up front we had to shell out some bucks we hadn't been anticipating. That was a very traumatic winter for me. I've lived through three major blizzards in my life, and none of those winters was as bad as that winter here. I wish I could find a place where it's like autumn all year long. That's the season I like best. It's just cold enough to put on a sweater, but everything is still pretty mild. So you're not too hot and you're not too cold. It's perfect. Where in the world is a place like that? I want to know. BTW, for any of you wondering, New York escort decided to pass on the interspecies copulating, much to everyone's relief.
