And we're not talking John Travolta here. We've had a cool day today--only in the high 80s, but the heat is returning with expected temps of 101 tomorrow, so why wait, why not start the "fever" tonight...no white suit and brown polyester, super pointy shirt collar, or fingers pointing skyward--just thoughts of how to incorporate ice cubes in clothing to keep cool.
Those of us who live in the central valley area of California realize that heat (lots of it) is necessary for the ripening of fruits and veggies, but those of us who aren't fruits or veggies don't want to "ripen". Until this new heat wave passes--probably about September--we'll be using our slightly fried brains to try to figure out how to stay cool as a cucumber (Where did this saying come from? Cucumbers left in the sun aren't cool, they're half-way to becoming pickles. Add some water and spices and they're Vlasic classics).
I never thought living in Alaska was a good option. However, that northern clime is looking more and more enticing. Meanwhile, short of a major move north, we'll continue to give most of our disposable income to the local utility company and bless the name of whoever invented air conditioning--wasn't it Mr. Carrier?

It's getting hotter here, too, though not quite as hot as where you are.
Hot weather is just a little reminder of things to come if we aren't good...Satan isn't red because it's his favorite color--he's just always overheated!
