Ok, it's just barely August now and it is HOT.......HOT.
No, not just summer hot but wicked disgusting "do I have to step outside?" hot. I write this at 6:30 in the morning and it is already 82 degrees outside. Yeah, 82 is not bad, but add the humidity and it already feels oppressively hot at 6:30 in the morning.
We have 2 auto manufacturing plants near here and they actually SUSPEND PRODUCTION during the day so we commoners can have AC in our houses.
How hot (and humid) is it where you are? We are due for another 105 degree day with the humidity factored in. This is about the 3rd week of this now. With this heat, ask yourselves this:
If you create a HUGE parking lot, why not concrete instead of blacktop or why not paint the blacktop white with black lines??? The walk across the parking lot at work is enough to dehydrate a girl.
Why does lake water get so warm so fast? Going to the lake to cool off is like swimming in a warm tub. It's just not worth the walk across the blacktop again.
and finally
how do you keep a kitchen cool when you need to cook dinner? There are only so many salads a family like mine is willing to eat before they want FOOOOOOD and that means an oven. I can not eat another egg sanndwich in an attempt to keep the oven/stove off.

I mostly just stay inside. But it seems that Florida is actually cooler than the rest of the country lately. I stay in the house, go to stores or the mall, go to the pool. Actually, the pool is almost unbearable, but Spirit loves the pool. The beach is cooler, but not much. The pool water is piss warm and there is very little breeze. Sorry I'm not much help. Oh, drink LOTS of water. And take lots of showers. Hope you cool off!
