A Simple Demand

JULY 13, 2005 BY SUSAN J

I would like to know who cancelled summer without my authorization. Yes, I know I’m always complaining about global warming and its effects. Perhaps I should have been clearer. My problem is actually CLIMATE CHANGE.

It’s mid-July and we have yet to have a single nice day. My horse and dog are growing winter coats. Our vine maples are CHANGING COLOUR! I have to wear socks because it’s too cold for sandals.

And don’t think you’re going to punish me by turning things scorching hot and leaving them that way until January. I’ve reached the end of my patience with global climate change. I want seasonally appropriate weather and I want it NOW.

(If you can’t manage that, please give some thought to throwing at least two or three nice days our way. I promise we’ll all make good use of them.)

Thanks.
