Hey Kids,
I thought being October, Texas wouldn’t be so hot, that you all would’ve cooled off some. I mean the thermometer read 93°.
That IS cooler? But why does it feel SO hot? I’ve felt temperatures in the 90’s before but this feels not just hot, but like another layer of hot on top of it?
Humidity? What is that?
And that’s why I feel like I just got rubbed down with taffy slobber?
How do you people live here???
Day 231
Hey Kids,
The days are getting hot. 100° is just a few digits away.
I know that’s hot. But really, are we that wimpy?
Every car drives around with windows up, AC on.
The night air is full of house AC compressors rattling and humming.
Windows are closed.
Porches and decks are empty.
Everyone is huddled in their 70° cocoons.
When did we stop being part of this world and decided that outside of ultimate comfort, we can only be miserable?
Poem from elementary school that stuck in my head:
When it’s hot, he wants it cold.
When it’s cold, he wants it hot.
What it is, man wants it not.
Day 114
