I think there may be a misunderstanding between the world and the Sun god. Perhaps in our miserableness in the winter, we decided it be best to give more than enough offerings to appease the Sun and encourage it to shower us with love. Brillant people, just brillant. I'm glad we thought about this all together. No one thought of the consequences, no one thought, "HEY! What if we give SO much that the freakin' sun explodes all over us!?"

THUS, I am sending out a memo to you people because someone ought to. And here are the following reasons on why maybe, just maybe we should hold back on the offerings of loveliness to the ellusive "sun god"

1. When the smell of burning skin cannot be distingushed from the smell of BBQ, there's something seriously wrong.

2. The a/c only drops the inside temp. a mere 5 degrees than the outside temp.

3. When the biggest sale of the year is a/c NOT snow shovels

4. You swear you have more shorts around here somewhere

5. The suntan lotion no longer works cause the bottle melted

6. Glacier lakes are being mistaken for swimming pools

7. You've worn your bathing suit for a period longer than 48 hours straight

8. You're suddenly best friends with everyone who owns a pool, a hose, or a watering can

9. Moving up north doesn't seem so bad anymore

10. When people ask "what's new?" in your life you scream at them: "IT'S SO HOT!!"

11. People sit in their a/c vehicles while eating dinner, watching tv, sleeping, etc

12. You haven't slept a full night in 3 days

13. You've forgotten what pants and jackets are meant for

14. You don't have to go outside to get a tan
