Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I won't be going to Mexico until Oct 2nd...I am getting the sleeve after lurking on this site for a year. Do you miss the thunder storms and fresh smell after the rain?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yeah, I miss a good thunderboomer every now and then. The constant drizzle here is annoying, and sometimes the summers here are so short. But I'll tell ya, I was back in Chicago last March and it was ice cold, gray and the air had such a stale,smoky smell to it- that it made me glad to be coming back here. Have you gone to the Fair yet?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Planning to go to the fair this weekend, ...I do miss the seasons changing...and you're right it really has not been much of a summer.
