Having experienced both, I judge a Maine summer to be vastly superior to a Chicago summer. To leave Maine in August, to anywhere else on earth, is truly taking one for the team.

But on the other hand, my favorite time of year in Maine begins on Labor Day - when the tourists head south, the evenings are crispy and comfortable. The days are dry and breezy.
And then...it gets even better. Leaves begin to turn. The smell of a properly made wood fire...
Having lived in Michigan for 10 years, northern summers are wonderful. Northern falls, are beautifully glorious with the changing leaves and crisp weather. Now that I've moved back to my home state of NC to care for family, June-November is hurricane season. One always has to be mindful of the possibility of devastating storms. I am a disaster survivor. Hurricane season puts me on edge. By the way, Project 2025 plans to close NOAA, which brings us weather information, including storm warnings.
I keep thinking of my dear friends in NC this time of year. Fortunately, so far, they all seem to be ok. And: yet further proof that P 25 is bat s*** f****** crazy. <sigh>

Well said Ralph.

Summer is nice. Fall is rejuvenation.

Don't you just wonder why? What would be the motivation behind closing NOAA? Project 2025 is incomprehensible.
Jenn, that is quite the shift, and it is only getting worse.
My Dad was a meteorologist for the Weather Bureau, then NOAA; he would be apoplectic at the threat to close forecasting in the US.

Shhhhhhhhh.
Well said!
