9/11/12 Mission Log #2456
It is approaching the end of the Earthly seasonal cycle referred to as “summer”. Humans are still flocking to open water communes such as the over-crowded community cement hole “pool”, and the edges of the continent that feature grainy eroded rocks (sand) and the turbulent large water bodies (ocean). All this despite the fact that they install and pay for their homes to be mechanically cooled. Humans are also leaving their cooled homes to cook OUTSIDE, on hot low-end cooking structures fueled by fire-hot charcoal or straight-up fire. Some even more delusional humans leave their comfy neighborhoods to “live in nature” without any modern conveniences, and go “camping” as they call it. This seems illogical to me, but humans really seem to enjoy these hot outdoor excursions.
Earthlings: care to share a favorite “summer” pastime, and why you enjoyed making yourself uncomfortable in the name of “fun”?
Camping is always our favorite summer pastime, though the wife prefers a cabin now more than a tent, but alas it still gets us outdoors where we all need to be more often. A chance to get the canoes and kayaks in the water, wet a hook, or just enjoy the cool water of the river while taking a summer dip. These are traditions I enjoyed as a kid and ones my kids now get to enjoy as well. Sure we battle the bugs, sweat our tail ends off, but even in the heat covered in Campho-phenique there is nothing more relaxing and more memorable for me and my family than the summer camping trip.
sounds lovely! But then again, I’m a human. My family didn’t camp all that much, I wish we had. The one time we did, however, my sister and I ended up sleeping in the van, LOL.
