Though, with the AC out and all, biking is at an all time low.

Just be happy John Lasseter keeps pouring billions into the Disney coffers with these films because that allows him some influence in P&R, almost entirely at DLR, though. <<And start building some original attractions?!>> You want original? Go see WWoHP. Want original Disney? Go to Anaheim or, better yet, leave the country.

It did it last year....and the year before that...and we had it installed about 5 years ago. Probably going to need a new system which will kill any chances of any vacation we wanted to attempt....but we shall see...

It is 84.4 degrees outside my house right now as 12:30 a.m. and 75.4 (a bit warm) inside.

We need some WDW help, though. Even if it is the hated synergy. >>> You want original? Go see WWoHP. Want original Disney? Go to Anaheim or, better yet, leave the country.<<< Hopefully later, next month, and hopefully next year. The AC ain't helping, Spirit!!!!

I just pray the "patch" (Freon tank...) lasts until we can get a new one. Totally killed the nice "Post Disney Trip Mood"...

He had not failed up until about 5:30 today, when we heard him swear audibly and give us "The Look That Says You Will Have To Pay A Lot Of Money To Be Comfortable In Your Own Home In This Bleeping Heat."

Probably going to get insurance on the next one.... ...Or just move to Washington State...or Maine....Or North Dakota.... Or Montreal.... /might be sick of SoFla...might.

And I will shiver, and be rained on, and freeze, before I sweat. You can put on clothes (and lots of them) in the cold. You can't take off clothes (Here comes the cracks!!) in the heat. Visited Philly for a week as part of a conference in March, it rained, was windy, and was in the 30's for most of the week. You didn't hear a peep out of me. Nor did you when it was in the 20's for a few weeks this past winter. LOVE the cold. LOL...never knew I could get so passionate about my choice in weather...

Friends from up north despise cold, and love the heat. I do agree, though, the reduced daylight gets a bit depressing...but I would rather be comfortable than well lit.
