enjoy Summer with its heat, mugginess, mosquitos and mowing?
I'm done with it. And it doesn't officially start until tomorrow (6/21).

Tomorrow is the longest day of the year. At least the hot-a$$ed days start getting shorter by a minute a day after Monday.

Yeah, Florida ain't much fun this time of year either. But at least we didn't get 14 inches of snow at Christmas...except, wait, I was in OK for that...weather sucks.

F that noise.
Meh, I don't mind. I spray the yard for bugs and that mostly keeps them in check. Dealing with sub zero winters is enough to make anyone wanna move south.
Oklahoma is lot like Korea. Single digits in the winter, triple digits and humidity in the summer...and everyone detests the US president.

....and now please direct your attention to the field and J. Clayton Feaver will lead us in a moment of prayer...

Oklahoma is colder than a welldigger's *** in winter, hotter than hell in summer, always windy, and let's not forget the giant tornadoes...but we have a DAMN GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM!!!! BOOMER!!!
And after all these years away, I'd move back tomorrow. The best thing about Oklahoma...Okies.
I'm slowly remembering that I hate it. Being sweaty for months straight is no fun.
As an aside... thread title reminded me... when did it become the norm for Oklahomans to refer to themselves as Okies? When I moved away the first time, it was considered a pejorative term. To my eyes and ears it still is. Right after I moved here last year, some woman asked "Are you an Okie?" I glared at her when replying that I was an Oklahoman.
We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals; we know now that it is bad economics. FDR.
It really isn't - spend a Winter in Winnipeg and get back to us on that.

So Oklahoma is a lot like North Korea? Sweet.
Who plays the role of Kim Jong Il, Sally Kern?
lol, I know, it CAN be cold, but it usually warms up pretty quickly. We did 4 winters in Rhode Island, that's close enough to Canada for me, you're right, it's frickin' cold.
Merle Haggard made the term "Okie" acceptable. God Bless Him.
Srsly though, I suspect there are still a few high-toned Okies that consider "Okie" pejorative. I say they need to get over themselves.
"Okie," IMHO, is a synonym for folks who spit in disaster's eye and do the things they have to do to provide for themselves and their kin...no matter how many curve balls fate pitches.

i can deal with the heat and mosquitoes because it means that it stays light until 9 o'clock, going to the lake, all my friends are back in town, and lots of cold beer to wash down with them AT the lake. i love summer. <3
True story.
Worked 8 months in Cleveland, OH, fall through winter and barely into spring. That was the first time this Okie saw 38 inches of snow firsthand. Above my frickin' belly button. Being a cable guy at the time, it was nothing to be hanging 20 feet off the ground in a set of climbers for hours on end. And the snow never left. I drank more beer that winter than a sailor.
Come Christmas time, I leave Cleveland at a nasty 15 degrees. I'm dressed accordingly, carhartt overalls, mink oiled boots, longhandles, a sweatshirt, and a hat. Never missed a beat up in the wilds of northern Ohio like that and literally worked for hours outside. I actually got to the point that I enjoyed the brisk temperatures and for a cold weather loving guy like myself, work was actually nice. As I got off the plane at Will Rogers, I found OKC at a scorching 38 degrees.
And as soon as I walked outside, I froze my *** off.
23 degree difference, and I'll be damned if OKC wasn't colder by far.
Whatever that's worth.
People don't know what it is to be a champion.
Oklahoma INVENTED it.
Look at the bright side, at least you have spring. In Portland we got 5 inches of rain in May, I've seen the sun about 5 times in the last 60 days, and I think I saw Edward from Twilight riding his bike by earlier today.
