I seriously think I might melt like a popsicle. We were blessed with rain today, which helped provide some relief from the sweltering heat wave we've recently been experiencing. Seriously, with today as an exception, I don't remember the last time I checked the weather and it did NOT reach 100 degrees or more. The local water park must be losing a ton of money from their partnership with the top 40 radio station. Basically whenever the temperature reaches 103 degrees, water park admission is $10.30. If I didn't have reliable air conditioning, fair Irish skin, and a job that keeps me busy until at least 6 pm, I think I'd have to resort to the water park for a cool down.
Let's compare weather from my three "home towns" shall we?
Home Town #1 (where I grew up, in Louisiana)
Home Town #2: Where my family currently resides (in New Mexico)
Home Town #3: Where I currently live and melt (Oklahoma)
Yup, you saw correctly. The semitropical swamp and the arid desert are both COOLER than my midwestern abode, which has a severe heat advisory until Saturday, which doesn't even look like the hottest day coming. 109 degrees on Sunday. You'd think on the Lord's day he'd want it to cool off. Oh how he works in mysterious ways, probably tricking people into resting because it's too darn hot to do anything else.
I'm gonna go chase down the icecream truck, then the sno cone truck. Then water ever truck has frozen refreshment that hasn't yet been invented but soon will be out of survival necessity.
Take care, stay hydrated!
