Weather Canteloupe Rum Surprise
WARNING...REALLY SARCASTIC RANT TO FOLLOW...
Hi.
It's been in the high 80's since yesterday. For the last two weeks, it has broken 100 every single day. Every, single day. Two weeks. 14 days.
I just love it when Easterners and Midwesterners try to one up me by saying "It's a dry heat" or "Try that with humidity!" I admit it does make things mucky and gross but I have one thing to say to them:
FUCK YOU AND YOUR FUCKING HUMIDITY.
(Please don't take this personally)
One thing y'all don't seem to realize is that in this "dry heat" we have no clouds. No humidity=no clouds. So while the air is "dry," the sun blasts you and everything around you with a UV index rating at a 10+ or "extreme." 10+ is as high as you can go without insta-cancer. People are sunburnt just by running quick errands outside. Trust me folks, I've seen it happen.
While the temperature around you may be 103, everything else you walk on, touch, brush past and otherwise has been heated up another 100 degrees. Have you tried opening a metal door? Walking on pavement in sandals? It ain't pretty. Not at all. Imagine parking your car in the SHADE, with a SUNSHADE in the windshield AND a cover on the steering wheel. Now imagine having to start the car with WINTER GLOVES because even with all that crap, the wheel, seatbelt and everything else is STILL TOO HOT TO TOUCH.
Don't forget, while you're doing all this you have to SQUINT outside because the damn sun is so BRIGHT!
No clouds.
None.
Dry heat my ass. Anything over 100 sucks ass, especially when no clouds are present to shield you from Father Fucking Sun. Don't think I'm speaking without experience. I HAVE BEEN in the Midwest AND the Northeast DURING HEAT WAVES and it was actually NICE to me because the sun wasn't drilling a hole in my head. I even MOVED FURNITURE in Southern Ohio during a 100+ degree heat wave and it was STILL MORE TOLERABLE!! If you are curious, come on over here in August and try walking around campus when you can't see, your feet heat up in your sandals just from the pavement, your face burns and cracks from the light, and you get a third degree burn from trying to open a door.
Then tell me "Oh, but it's a dry heat."
Yeah, go ahead and tell me.
Holy crap! I just wrote a rant! I never do that!
Oh well.
-P :-)
