If not yet,when are you usually able to open them to enjoy the breezes ?

A month later, the Plymouth Colony was founded by the passengers of the "Mayflower".
1908 - General Motors was founded on this day. The man responsible for the beginning of the huge auto-manufacturing company (maker of Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chevrolet) was William Crapo ‘Billy’ Durant.

Happy Hump Day!
Today's Question(s):
How many in our "question family" are experiencing "Open Window" weather ? I am
Bonus Question:
Lets discuss Quirks !!!
Ok, we all have them, so being the cozy little family that we have become I thought it would be fun to see how many of us might share the same Quirks
So tell us, what are some of your Quirks ? Wow, this is too general. I think of quirks as being in categories. 
When I leave my house, I always turn my knob on the door after I lock it -- even though I know that it's locked. But, that's just one of many quirks.
Extra Credit Question:
The other day I so wanted to just "Stand Up & Yell" What were you thinking when you put on those skin tight jeans. And, by the way, how did you get those on?!!!
Just for Fun:
What are your favorite chores to do around the house ? I don't have any favorites
Have you ever collected rocks ? When I was young.
Do you own a raincoat ? Nope. I'm an umbrella type of guy.

Today's Question(s):
How many in our "question family" are experiencing "Open Window" weather ?
Oh, yeah... Today's high is forecast for 73, and it's cool, crisp, clear and lovely right now. I love autumn in the Midwest.
If not yet,when are you usually able to open them to enjoy the breezes ?
This was a pretty typical summer. We needed the window AC's a few times, but it's been open-window weather most of the summer.
Bonus Question:
Lets discuss Quirks !!!
Ok, we all have them, so being the cozy little family that we have become I thought it would be fun to see how many of us might share the same Quirks
So tell us, what are some of your Quirks ?
I can't stand going to bed if there are any dirty dishes in the sink. I'm a packrat (trying to reform). I love jewelry but don't wear nearly as much as I did when I was younger. I never wear high heels. I still wear nylons to work every day.
Extra Credit Question:
The other day I so wanted to just Stand Up & Yell "if your car won't go any faster than 40 mph, then get off the #%&*$ expressway" !!!
Just for Fun:
What are your favorite chores to do around the house ?
Favorite chores? That's something of an oxymoron, don't you think, Karla?
I don't mind washing dishes, and I really enjoy cooking, though I don't often get the opportunity to do so. And there is something deeply satisfying about tackling a cluttered, overflowing, disorganized cabinet or drawer and transforming it into an orderly space. I should do that more often.
Have you ever collected rocks ?
Yes, I did as a child.
Do you own a raincoat ?
Sure do, though I haven't needed it for weeks. We haven't had any rain here in south-central Wisconsin since mid-August. That probably means that we're destined for a week-long steady downpour starting about Sunday afternoon, when the spouse and I leave for our annual vacation.
