i take it you handle the heat without profuse perspiration and exhaustion then.

Ya that would generally be right.i can even wear a hoodie in the summer for hours.

you have good genes then. :star:

since having heatstroke in the army [working in a 120F+ warehouse] i can't tolerate sustained temperatures above about 75.

well thank you.i guess its because my family has been working outdoors in hot climates for hundreds of years.And also i think it may be due to being on the spectrum on my case because my therapist says that my autism is the reason why I am so sensitive to the cold.I wish I had a super high cold tolerance but even San Antone/Austin is a tad too chilly for me in the winter time.I am sorry to hear about the heatstroke my friend.

I like daylight because I like going for walks and looking at stuff. But I prefer it being overcast and cool.

Due to my schedule walks don't usually start until after 5 pm. And I work the night shift. So I won't see much daylight for the next 6 months.

thank you amigo

i was stationed [circa 1985] in ft. sam houston, in san antonio, a lovely [if hot] city. if i could have tolerated the heat i would have moved there. lovely riverwalk and jazzbands they got there. i do have decent cold tolerance, for many years i'd run outside in the wintertime wearing just shorts.

I like the kind of overcast where the sky is totally white and you can't see the sun. Like being under a canopy.

I first found WP because I was googling to find out if anyone else loved the end of daylight savings. (You'll see that I joined on 1st November -- my favourite time of year!) The only people I could find who agreed with me that dark is better, were autistic. It was one of my first clues about being autistic. :heart:

It is true that autism people only like the dark early?

I can’t stand it that they change the time. My biological clock takes forever to reset. About the time my body gets used to the new time, they change it again. I don’t care what time they pick, I just wish they’d pick one and quit changing it.

I love the sun and blue sky. I like rainy days too. When I was younger I loved the cold and snow. For me, I’ve been happier since I moved to a place where I can squander sunshine.

I’m like you, when my body gets used to the time, they change it. For me, there not enough time to do stuff like apartment work & other things on a do to list, I’m so slow at doing stuff. I love it better in the spring time when it gets dark after 6PM. I love fall & winter, I have Psoriasis, I can’t be in the sun too much. When I was younger, I loved the cold & snow. Me & my parents always take vacations on a ski resort 3 hours away where I live, I skied before, I kept falling on my butt, at least I fell down on snow. I also went horseback riding. I was in an avalanche too, I got to see a snowstorm. I built a snowman too, I was sick, my dad helped me.

The time change really throws me off both in the spring and the fall.

Spring is definitely worse than fall. I never want the time to change.

It gets dark so early. By 6 pm it is pitch dark and I feel like it is 9 pm.
