The "Sun is Setting Between the Trees" Again!

I'm your exact opposite here.

That's cause you are still a young wippersnapper.

I'm catching up on this thread for the first time and the OP's original post was wonderful to read. It is how our ancestors figured out the seasons thousands of years ago. I hope j8064 is well.

As I've grown older, I find that the cold winters bother me more than they did when I was younger. That's why I plan to retire in Florida!

That's the plan I am working on.

This reminds me, I need to get out west and visit our brothers.

Welcome to the club! :-)

Whereabouts in FL do you want to retire? I've got a house in Parkland (yes, the infamous Parkland where the school shooting occurred) which is about an hour North of Miami and not too far North of Fort Lauderdale. That's in the general area where my family lives.

I'm looking between St. Augustine and Daytona.

My goal is FL. yeah it's hot in the summer, but I'm a water (pool and ocean) junkie, so I won't mind. However the wife....*sigh*. Farthest north I'll stay is NC...at least that state has my favorite dive sites.

That's assuming my retirement accounts don't keep losing money. Right now it's looking like the only way I will be able to retire is to drop dead. Doh!

I was out that way last week in Frostburg and thought about it. But alas, I had a truck full of dorm stuff and the wife.

As I get older , hot humidity bothers me than it did .

My future criteria include :

Four distinct seasons
Less snow shovelling than Maryland .

Buy an expensive snow blower, that way you KNOW it won't snow much.

As much as I like fall, I hate waking up to dark mornings knowing that it will soon be getting colder.

This. And darkness by 4:30pm.

Yup .

I was thinking about this thread last week. I’m in the camp that loves colder weather. I’m glad it popped back up.

I really enjoy being outside in the fall and on mild winter days.

Actually in hindsight this summer has been quite mild in terms if overall heat and humidity.

You just jinxed us for Sept.

I love that. Very relaxing. The fact that I get up well before dawn probably plays a role here.

I'm looking between St. Augustine and Daytona.

We had a house in Clearwater, humid gulf coast, and the in-laws lived in Daytona Beach, fresh cool ocean breeze. Prefer the space coast but I was stationed at MacDill AFB.

I've made that trip at least 4 times(WVU).

Nice. I too prefer the Atlantic Coast to the Gulf Coast.

I’m typically burning the candle at both ends that time of year

I pulled the firewood wagon up to the house this eve and it reminded me of this thread.
