What do you "assign" to the Shire?

[Rikae]

In about three months I'll be assigning her to Mordor, but for now: the sun.

I second your assignment, Rikae! We finally have reached 80 down here. The gardeners are out in force, flowers are blooming, the rivers are overflowing, our cattle stock is overflowing with little heifers; spring is almost as fun as Autumn!

I don't know how much is 80, but we have 20 here and it's great. And spring really deserves to be assigned here

EDIT: Wow. 3,999th post. Now, I guess the next one will make it: It is going to be my RPG post, so I hope it will do it justice.

P.P.S.: Eeeek. 4000 posts it will be? I remember when I saw that Saucepan Man had as much as that. I would have never thought back then of reaching such a sum. Scary!

80 is equivalent to 27 degrees Celsius (while 20 is 68F). That would be summer weather for me. I'm quite envious of everyone experiencing such nice weather. Over here the weather has consistently stayed between 40-55F (5-13C) during the day with lots of rain and wind, though the sun will occasionally peer out. A typical New England spring, I suppose, but I really do hate this in-between weather and am ready for something warmer...

Our average summer weather is about 65 degrees, last summer we didn't get much above 55.

You've got ice water in your veins, girl!

Macs with 18 inch screens, and high quality scanning equipment, and photo editing software that's 100% legal.

Sometimes I love my school.

Like when I'm holed up in the Mac lab...

Not really. My mother said that when she was a girl in Bethel, there was native kids running outside in t-shirts in 30 degree weather. Although I have been known to wear sandals and no jacket in the middle of December.


EDIT: I forgot to mention that I made a Barrow-Downs mug to drink tea, in art class. I assign that to the Shire!

I assign The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It be good!

I assign getting to watch a solar eclipse! Yay! It's not the full eclipse here in Manila, as the full was seen in China and India, but even a partial eclipse is fine for me.

The incredibly soft and warm blanket I'm snuggled under which only cost me (or, rather, only cost my mom (thanks Mom!)) $4. It's green, too, which just makes it ten times more awesome.

There's nothing like cool nights combated with extreme coziness.

How do you not melt‽

I'm with Legate on this: 20 is good.
