Missing the Sun

I'm a little disappointed today. Actually, I have been for a few days.

Everyone knows you can't change the weather, and if you could it would be incredibly selfish to monkey with it, right? We have had a very, very warm spring and summer here in Washington State this year, and I have enjoyed the hell out of it. I am solar-powered, so unlike most people I talk to, I like it hot. It means less or no clothing.

Which brings me to the topic of my disappointment.

Every year I look forward to the end of August for a particular event called Nudestock. It's an amazing day in an amazing place, with a lot of very laid-back people. The forecast for the weekend this year? Cool and rainy. Argghh. Sure, they have a nice, heated pool, a couple of nice hot tubs, and a fire pit, but what about the in-between times? It's funny to see nudists wearing shirts and nothing else, but it happens a lot during those cool times. It's like a refusal to give in and admit defeat. Don't let the weather win.

I'll hope for a last-minute reprieve in the weather, but I doubt it will happen. It's close enough to Saturday right now that the weather nerds will likely be dead-on with their forecast. Oh well. I'll hope for next year. In the meantime, I guess I'll try to make use of any nice weekends that happen from now on.

If warm sun on skin I feel
my clothing I must quickly peel.
