Cliche be damned

 As many of you dear readers, summer is my favorite time of the year. I love the heat and holidays and the summer food that goes along with the season. I think I've always loved summer the best because it's the least complicated season. I mean if you live in a civilized enough culture, environment you could go without clothes without a problem for many of the days of the summer. At least I would. Even now the least amount of clothes is the best but as I quasi indicated earlier we live in a world that does not smile upon in the least. I love the days when the heat sees you into the evening and sticks around all night long even without the benefit of clouds acting as the blanket to keep the heat in. Even though I don't get to experience many storms these days I like to blame it on global warming. I blame everything on global warming. It's just easy that way. But we don't experience as many summer storms as we used to, at least it doesn't seem like it to me. I mean it's not like I've lived in Salt Lake that long but it's very similar to Idaho weather. And I guess that's this whole concept of the monsoon season where you have these rivers running through the skies and if you're lucky enough to be underneath one you might get some rain if not thundershowers. I really love a thunderstorm in the evenings when the lightning is on display most brilliantly. Now as I'm an older individual who can really appreciate the simplicity of the season I really do love the season even more. I don't have to worry about snowfall, people who haven't removed the snow from their sidewalks or driveways or Civic support systems like buses I cannot use during the winter season because I can't get to the bus stops. And I actually do like the winter season quite a bit even with those problems it's just that I kind of like summer more. Spring and fall autumnal I truly do enjoy but not like I do summer. The autonominals are the change seasons and they're enjoyable for that fact of transition. I also embody the cliche of the senior sitting in the sun just to sit in the sun to have his bones get warmed by the direct rays. Now I can enjoy any season of the year that I have access to good steady sunlight but the sunlight doesn't really bake like the sunshine of Summer. Cliche I mean I find myself often sitting in my chair, eyes closed facing the sunshine. I don't know how safe this is as far as damage to my skin and all that kind of stuff but it certainly warms my soul. Sadly I keep an eye out for other residents here at the complex. I don't want them thinking that all I do is sit in the Sun but I think I would if I had a choice and not be so senior looking doing so…
