Daddy's Home by Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein for December 29, 2019

Hang in there. The days are getting longer.

Didn’t summer already begin in — oh, I don’t know — Australia?

Tony asked, just now

Miss summer?

Yes. As long as it’s not too wet or damp.

Make it medium hot to hot with the occasional thunderstorm in the evenings like in my childhood… with swimming season from beginning of March until September/October…

And real winters with snow, please. Not around freezing point with rain and sleet. Rather sunny and cold than that.

Miss summer?

She’s ok

Now Miss Winter, she is rather special!!

Summer in Rio or anywhere in South America its summer there, and the bikinis are non-existed!!!

Miss Summer? You could say that. Summer ended here in August. Fall missed us completely. Snow for Halloween. 62 on Christmas day. Sun just came up and it’s 56 this morning.

What is this Summer that you speak of?

die hard

Snow foolin’ you, is there, Peter? O<|];o)

At least his drink was saved by the umbrella.

I used to own a convertible Geo Tracker in New Hampshire a decade or so ago, and I wouldn’t put my top up until the first snow of winter. I ended up driving around all bundled up in a snow suit because the first snow didn’t happen until February!
