Mercury rising

While Debz and I were driving to lunch today, I checked her car's clock to make sure we weren't running late. As a punctual and responsible employee, I am never late.

"Holy crap!" I said. "We're late! My sense of time is all screwed up. I thought it was just after noon, but it's already 1:13."

Debz glanced at the dash. "That's not the time, that's the temperature."

Now, as the sun has just set, we're down to a cool 104. Better break out the long johns because tomorrow only will be a high of 108. Welcome to summer in the desert. Or as I call it, "Four straight months of me bitching about the heat."

You're nuts. Humans were never meant to live like that.

that's too hot! I'll think of you the next time I think it's too hot here in the lowcountry.
