People in Lynden and Whatcom County generally have started whining about the unseasonably hot weather. This would not bother me were it not for the fact that I just spent months listening to folks go on about how cold and cloudy it was. It all brings to mind a poem that my late Grandpa Lott used to recite:

As a rule
man’s a fool

When it’s hot
he wants it cool

When it’s cool
he wants it hot

Always wanting
what is not

As a rule
man’s a fool
