Whooaaaa, Mitch! Sounds like you need to vacation in a cooler, windy place come summer. Why not let the lawn dry up during summer so you don't have to mow? I love gardening & faithfully water my flowers & shrubs, but come hot summer weather, I let my lawn go brown. More & more people are doing that now. Environmently friendly too.
Is MO, short for Montana? The Prairie summers I experienced were either hot, humid & still, or very hot, dry, & windy. On the hot windy days, I'd work outside with a hose near me. Every ten minutes or less, I'd spray myself down from head to feet. Only way I could survive outside.

> Well, the kind of heat I experience in the summer where I live (southern Mo), is really bad, no wind, and temps in triple digits. When I mow my lawn I have to do it in three or four tries. I get so exhausted I start getting dizzy and tingly-then I dart inside, drink some water, and stand in front of a fan for about 20 minutes, then go back out again. The depression usually strikes in late June, intensifies rapidly through July, lingers and withers slowly through August and into early September. This year was very bad. I was just snapping out of it and the terrorist attacks hit and added another two weeks to it. The timing of the start of the winter and summer episodes is very predictable (I usually can nail it within a couple of weeks). The "movement thing" struck me, because I was feeling better in late September (actually slightly hypo), and I noticed that the wind had kicked up and all the trees were moving and swirling around (with the leaves just beginning to change)-that's when the idea got me.
