It seems that winter in New England has launched itself directly into summer. We went from an eternally cold and annoyingly snowy winter directly into the blistering heat of summer. Those of you in the south would not consider 85 degrees F to be blistering heat, but those of us up north with our sluggish blood do not respond well to these temperatures, especially when they arrive suddenly. My ideal temperature (outdoors) is closer to 60. Indoors I thrive at 68.
We New Englanders tend to complain a lot about the weather. We have an old saying... "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute". It changes frequently, giving us much to complain about. Most people in these parts don't like change - they like their 'comfort zone'.
I'm lucky that the weather is all that I have to complain about. I have a good job, a roof over my head, friends and family, and relatively good health. What more could I ask for? Nifty thunderstorms at my command? (Cool - I'd like that).
We humans are never satisfied with the good things that we have. We always want more. I guess it all goes back to the Garden of Eden. Man and Woman had everything - except one stinking fruit. They had to have it all. And just look at where it got us.
This is not Paradise.

You wouldn't like it in Utah then. We've already seen tripple digits a couple of times. Anything over the mid 80's is too hot for me (although ideal is closer to 70) and I stay in doors most of the time when it gets that hot. Everytime I've been in New England, I found the weather to be pleasant, maybe a little cold, warm, wet or windy at the time, but never bad and always relatively pleasant. Guess I've never been there during the bad parts of the year.
Paradise, perhaps not, but it could be worse. You could live in Phoenix.
