It's hot.

First off... it is a common myth that Austria is perpetually covered with snow, in as much as Seattle is perpetually raining. It's currently 27c in my office right now which is markedly better than the 32c that is outside. Still, when people see me in nothing more than shorts and a t-shirt at work and ask why I am soaking wet, I feel some explanation is in order. I am not sure if it is the explanation or my translation of the explanation into German that is funny, but people laugh. All I tell them is people from Seattle are made of Ice Cream and generally melt at anything above 15c. It's days like this when the -20c to -30c of winter seems like a distant dream.

I don't like heat. When it is cold, you can always put more clothes on. When it is hot, it is hard to get more than naked... even if it is publicly acceptable here. (note to self - go to the river more often while it is hot and take in some visual relaxation)
