Here in Singapore, the days are the same length, same dawn, and the same sunset. Warm summer nights are the norm and a cool breeze is always appreciated. If there is a season change, I have yet to feel it. No falling of the leaves, no mornings with dew on the leaves. Relentless humidity that makes a pair of jeans feel like a torture device on a short walk. Lounging around in the underwear is a survival skill with your trusty fan always at your side.
I don't know at what point it was, but sometime in the last few months, Singapore stopped having that warm vacation feel. The feeling is now more like a 5 min too long sauna session. I've taken a cold shower for six months in a row now, and I wonder how I could have ever used hot water in the past.
The only changes to look forward to are the powerful storms that sweep over this island and strip off all of the dirt on the roads and walls, to make everything smell new again.

Terry, the shittay weather back in the states is here for you when you return. Don't worry there is always plenty.
The nice thing about Ohio is that the season's change and I get the fall colors but the extreme cold is not really present.
Anyways, nice to hear from you.
