I hate June. June sucks. Blindly following some Roman custom relating
to Juno (the real reason why people have June weddings) + hot, humid
weather + completely impractical formal wear with a thick, unbreathing
layer of shirts and paper thin pants that never quite fit is teh sux.

I may be brown, but this time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere
when the weather is chilly but not intolerable, and one can read by
the moonlight is, OTOH, teh win.
