There are jokes like that about the British summer. One day of warm, sunny weather, well that's it -- hope you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we're now having horribly hot summers all the time, it seems. We've been having quite a heat wave recently: warm, sunny days. Today it's grey and sprinkling rain a little -- the first rainfall in several weeks.

I laughed at your post initially because I used to live in Colorado, where a native of Maine would be considered a flatlander. Pretty much anyone from outside of Nepal, Switzerland and parts of Alaska are considered flatlanders there, though. ;)
