Experiencing Alaska Summer Confusion?

A strange phenomena has fallen upon the land of the midnight sun: endless sunshine and hot, hot temperatures...Especially odd after experiencing one of the longest winters ever! Something akin to being served stale soup for 8 months straight, followed by the largest chocolate cake you have ever seen.
At first the hot weather brought upon the expected Alaskan behavior: mania. Sunshine mania is considered quite normal after a long winter, as long-term Alaskans are thinking: "Ok, I have this one sunny day, before it starts raining again--must fit it all in". So they will paint the deck at 6:00 am, plant their gardens by breakfast, fishing sometime around noon, BBQ at 4:00, followed by some rock climbing before midnight. I really don't think I am exaggerating here.
But them it hits the clueless Alaskan--"wait a second, why isn't this warm weather leaving???"  By day 7 or 8 of manic summertime activity, everyone is staring at their sunburn and ransacking their closets looking for summer clothes, hoping some dusty shorts are still in the closet. You realize "why the heck don't I have any summer clothes??" So you run out to Fred Meyer and buy the last flip flops.
Again, I am not joking --the first few days of this heat wave, saw kids at the playground   wearing snow boots in 77 degrees, families taking walks with children clad only in diapers, and adults wearing rolled up jeans.
By now we are at week three of this crazy sun and warmth. And a new feeling takes over: pre-vacation regret. Many folks cope with the lousy Alaskan weather by just getting on a plane and leaving. This of course, happens in the summer too--as lately summer means nothing but cold and rain. So logically, everyone has booked their vacations in the lower 48. And so regret sets in: "like why did I do that?? Optimum vitamin D levels have already been achieved right here! What a waste !"
