Clearly the fifth season is Hockey Season. This is Canada after all.

Canada only has two seasons: winter and construction.

Apparently Boston is also the number one city for online dating.

Technically, Arizona has 6 seasons. In no particular order: Spring, Fall, Summer, Winter, Fire, and Water.

Or at least that's a good way to remember the rainy and drought seasons.

The five seasons of Cedar Rapids are spring, summer, fall, winter, and "the time to enjoy them."

Moses Lake? We have four seasons here, too. Warm, Burning, Cool, and Sick. In the Burning months of June through August, the temperature constantly hovers in the low 90's with spikes of up to 118 degrees. During the Sick months of November through February, temperatures in range of 10-30 degrees are common, with dips of -20. Warm and Cool are the only decent times of year here.

Also, do not drive anywhere in Moses Lake if your insurance is not paid up. Every day in Moses Lake, we have a festival called "Share The Roads With Retards Day." This is often celebrated with random drivers pulling licenses out of their cracker-jack boxes/ass cracks, and believing this makes them immediately fit to operate a motor vehicle. They will then plague the roads with sudden turns (and no signals), failure to yield right of way to traffic that has it, speeding whenever the limit is above 35 MPH, driving 15 below the limit when it's less than 35, making the noisiest tuner cars possible by either placing the exhaust parts in the wrong order or forgetting them altogether, driving the fugliest Dually pickups in existance and requiring at least four parking spaces to wedge their fat asses into. Multi-lane changes are encouraged, as well as illegal u-turns.

And then there are the commercial aspects of the town. In this town of 30,000+ people, we have.... Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart has already driven Gottschalks, Food Pavilion, Market Foods, Super One, and K-Mart out of town. Granted, this is also because the managers of each of those businesses were complete imbeciles. But yes, this leaves Wal-Mart, Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowe's Hardware, Tru Value Hardware, and Goodwill for major shopping outlets. We have one movie theater which houses 8 screens, none of which show anything other than crap at any given moment. I fault Hollywood as much as the theater for this, as Hollywood doesn't seem capable of producing much more than crap these days. Our restaurants include two Burger Kings, two McDonald's, Taco Bell, five (count 'em) Subways, Quiznos, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Papa Murphy's, Domino's, Golden Corral, the local meat-market that is Michael's On The Lake, Michael's Corner Bistro, Taco Time, J's Teriyaki, the Super China Buffet II, and numerous bars and sports bars. We once had a couple of decent places for those of us trying to find culture in this backwoods hole, but The Noon Moon (really groovy open-mic coffeehouse) and Griffin's Bakery (awesome baked goods, sandwiches, espresso, soups, and salads, all made from scratch in a relaxed internet cafe) have shut their doors.

This is the kind of place where people come to die, and I can hardly wait to escape it, hopefully in two years with my transfer to the University.
