I understand that this year so far there has been more area burned in Canada than in the ten previous years combined. Something similar may have resulted in the Dark Day of 1780.

I have not enjoyed any outdoor nakedness for a couple of months due to a combination of heat and really bad knees.

We are 3200+ feet. Normal temps this time of year is 80-90F. Been ranging close to triple digits most of summer. But! Due to low humidity. The mornings are wonderful. Cool in the low 70sF. So at least can enjoy some nice weather for a few hours.

The weather is becoming more & more unpredictable nowadays, obviously because of man made global warming. As you said, let's hope for the good weather in August to practice naturism..

You may not be enjoying out of home naturism because of weather & here we can't enjoy outside naturism because of against naturism local harsh laws..

"Naturism"

Is this another sugarcoated euphemism like "plus sized", nuro diverse, etc. ???

A euphemism is a nice word for a bad thing. Nudism/Naturism is not a bad thing. Ergo, it cannot be a euphemism. Naturist is the more recent term but IIRC it still goes back almost a century.

The terms are often used interchangeably. Nudism is often associated with the resort/club crowd while naturism is associated with nature, and often having an environmental focus. Nude hiking, camping, nude beaches, and other free-range activities of the sort non-landed clubs and individuals might engage in. There's a lot of overlap between the terms and to many people there isn't a real difference.

What is really funny is when people mix up naturist and naturalist. I see that in the newspaper every now and then.
