Would you like ice in that?

Summer is my favorite time of year. That glorious sun! I can’t get enough of it.

Hmm. Maybe I should rephrase that since I burn in about a minute and a half.

I adore the bright light of a summer’s day, as long as I can enjoy it from a shaded location. It’s not the heat I can’t handle, it’s those potent UV rays.

But there is one weird thing that happens in the summer.

My favorite order at Starbucks is a Venti extra hot latte. The ratio of coffee to milk is perfect, and I get a particular satisfaction when I drink a very hot beverage. Even in the summer.

But when I put in my order in the summer I always get the same question. “Would you like ice in your drink?”

Is it me? Or is someone not listening?
