Mosaic Life

I'm totally a winter/fall person. I hate the summer - the heat, the lack of rain, the shriveling of the flowers as the sun sucks out their beauty, much like an old witch sucks out the plentiful youth of children (only in movies of course). But some people love it. They say insane things like "I'm happy when it's over 90 degrees." Like they relish heat strokes. Well, the high tomorrow is 99 degrees. Enjoy your stroke!

But the thing is, as I'm sure you've noticed, you can always warm up when it's cold. Wear an eskimo jacket, build a fire, eat spicy food. But you can't cool down when it's unbelievably hot. Yeah I know, turn on the air conditioning. But you see, we have these commercials here in California preaching "conserve energy, use fans, drink lots of water."

Here's how I know that heat is worse than cold: if cold were worse, hell would totally be one enormous blizzard. The devil would probably wear white instead of red in order to match the surroundings. And the devil can't wear white, white is the color of purity and heaven. So obviously, cold wins.
