My kid still has football practice, last night was pretty damm cold standing around for 2 hours but I'll still take it over rain. This weather has actually been really great IMO, a nice break from the non-stop rain we normally get.

I remember a few years ago I was walking around HK/Taiwan in May and it was freakin' hot and humid. Mid 20+ degrees easily.
I was wearing a sleeveless and shorts. In HK there was women wearing full length fur coats and I also saw a guy walking around in the Taiwan night market in a North Face bomber.
They were looking at me like  and I was looking at them like 
The opposite also applies though. My gf is Taiwanese so when we went to Asia in August I was fucking cooking in the heat. I had to run into every store that had AC, and she's all like "oh this is nice and warm"

Left my winter beater parked on the street, as I took my dad's car for a 16 hour (overtime! woo woo) shift at work.
I happened to forget about street cleaning and the sweeper went around my car. I honestly figured I'd get towed but at $640/day I took the chance.
Then proceeded to get a nasty note under my windshield from an irate neighbour because it was "annoying" to see all the dirt on the ground around my car because I forgot to move it.
People need to mind their own fucking business.
