P.J. O'Rourke makes the case against summer. An excerpt:
In the contiguous 48 states, the best weather isn't in June, July and August. Spring is glorious in the South. Fall is splendid in the North. And winter is swell in Florida and the part of California where the four seasons are Smog, Mudslide, Brush Fire and Oscar.
Our summer weather in 2011 consisted of tornados, heat waves, an earthquake and a hurricane. For everyone this side of Nome, summer vacation in the summer is like having a coffee break at 2 a.m.

"Supposedly, summer vacation happens because that's when the kids are home from school, although having the kids home from school is no vacation."
O'Rourke understands my wife.
Kurt,
He hit the bull's eye with that line.
