I am so happy summer is over. No more crowds, no more kids out all day long, no more crowds (yes, I ment to say that twice) and soon, no more heat. Went to Disneyland twice last week, it was dead, no lines no crowds...fantastic. Soon it will be cooler weather and all will be good.

Let's here it for the end of summer! Hip-hip horray!

Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
Ron loves a film = don't even rent.

    you suck! :mad:

    the end of summer here means, cooler weather.. it also means fall isn't to far away. With fall comes raking up leaves, yard work, buttoning down the house getting it ready for winter. Then we bunker down for 5 months of nothing but cold, snow, wind, more snow, icy roads, bad road conditions, snow, rain, shoveling snow, 5 months of that! :eek: :mad:

    No more tourists...woo hoo! Or at least a whole lot less. You can take your speeding, tailgating, littering, jaywalking fat asses back to whatever sorry-**** place you're from :rolleyes:

    Looking foward to this winter myself......it signifies many things for me.

    1. It will be the last winter I will ever have to go to college classes in.
    2. It will mean I'm that much closer to my fitness goals of next summer.
    3. It will be the last winter I don't have a full time job for the rest of my life.
    4. It means I can deliberately drive a bit on the wild side when no one is on the road in the ice/snow.
    5. I can make yellow snow.

    Next weekend we play our first soccer game of the season (I coach u17 girls). I expect to see some heat related issues with the girls for the first couple weeks of the season.

    I find it amazing, were in Arizona, and they'll really need water during a game. I tell them to just get my attention, I'll get them off the field for water, and they still wait till they're about ready to drop from the heat.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    I don't even know where to begin with this one. But let's just say : driving on the wild side in the ice and snow? Idiocy.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    But unfortunately, traffic is worse in houston during the school year. I guess all the students, teachers, school employees, buses, etc on the road are enough to make a big difference. We didn't even have a summer here. July this year was the 6th wettest July on record.

    In Dallas, we love the fall. !00 degree days stop, and it cools down at night.
    Summer here is like winter in Watertown, N.Y. Something to be endured
    every year.

    Ehhh, when no one is on the road, and its an empty parking lot, i like to have a little fun. A few donuts and some drifting never hurt anyone.

    Summer's great & so's the Fall. Incredibly beautiful, color-changing trees, cooler temps, crisp mornings, college football...

    C'mon, every season has something great about it. Do your best to deal with or, even better, ignore the crumby part of every season and focus on the good parts of every season. It helps us look forward.

    Mark, I certainly hope you are joking, but if you aren't, all I can say is having a college education is wasted on a person who has NO common sense.

    Calling it fun playing dangerous games in a machine that can crush you is NOT SMART!

    Cathy, I'm like a cat......i have plenty of lives to spare. :D

    Ok, enough joking around. Any "fun" i speak of is done in wide open parking lots near where I live....I consider myself a good driver, no one else is around, no other cars, no other people, no trees to hit, nothing but open space and some snow.

    Not to mention the beneficial side of doing it. Learning how to handle your car when you go into a slide or skid on ice is a great thing to know.

    I HATE THE WINTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I tried to mve to FLA. 10 years ago but the wife would have no parts of it.
    No more motorcycle riding, no more shore, pool will be closed, no more bikini's, and no more fishing.
    I WILL have snow to shovel, cold weather, school meetings, home work with the kids, dance class bills and competitions.
    You can keep the winther.

    The nicest thing about summer being "over" (even though we have another month of it officially) is that there will no longer be floods of boats on the water when we go fishing. All the tourists with their heads up their butts from NY and PA go home and leave the Jersey Shore to those of us who live here and we get our State back for a few months.

    Also, Atlantic City isn't inundated with people and you can actually get reservations at restaurants or a table at a pizza joint or even a seat at one of the card tables.

    Some stuff sucks about the winter though. Going to see the bands at the various bars and concert halls will now be a chore because they will be inundated with silly college kids looking for the dollar drink special, smoking weed in the corner and starting fights and just ruining a good time.

    Oh that and racing season is over when the weather gets cold but usually not until the first time it snows way off in December. Then again, drag racing is a whole hell of alot of fun but it's fun in a dangerous machine that can crush me...ah, forget that, it's a surefire way to meet your maker if you don't keep your wits about you, so I guess it's frowned upon as being "stupid". I don't think I'm going to stop doing it though. Nah, not a chance in hell. I'm college educated too! Whoda thunk?

    Enjoy it while you can cause it will REALLY be over once you get out, pass the bar, & start working 80hrs a week in a law firm!:D

    The upshot of that is you will be making tons of money, You won't have anytime to spend it, but you will be making it!:D

    Seattle never really had much of a Summer this year. Its been raining more than usual and not as warm as usual. So, we basically had a really long and crappy Spring. Thunderstorms last night, and its looking like we are going to go straight from Spring to Autumn.

    I agree, I think its important to know this, before you need it. Before you get that 'oh ****' feeling when your car goes sideways unexpectedly.

    We're moving from winter--> road construction--> fall. I'm glad for the cooler weather and hopefully some rain. Then on to 6 months of the grey doom of winter... but that also means 4-wheeling in the snow, snow mounds full of beer, and BBQ'ing in a jacket. :)

    Doing donuts in a snowy parking lot != "I can deliberately drive a bit on the wild side when no one is on the road in the ice/snow"

    Everyone has some fun in an empty parking lot. Driving a bit on the wild side on the road in the ice and snow is idiocy. I don't particularly care if you wrap yourself around a tree, just don't wrap yourself around my car.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I used to "practice" when I lived in Colorado. Bent a tie-rod now and then but never killed anybody. The key being, you do this when nobody else is around hence no one can get hurt. Great practice for when you might need it in a real life situation and maybe save someone's life.

    I think you forgot about where I'm currently living......out in the sticks.....finding someone on the road in a snow/ice storm has a slim to none chance, especially my street since its not a thru way to get anywhere....its nice and wide, plenty of not so sharp turns, good practice......
