Estoy caliente.
It's hot. Weather Underground says it's only 74, but I beg to differ.
This is what I hate about summer. My feelings are, if I wanted to live in someplace that was 100 degrees in the shade, I'd bypass redemption and go straight to Hell or Houston. I visited Houston once on accident (airline error...long story) and it was complete misery. Outside it was a balmy 120 degrees in the shade, and going inside only made it worse, because for some reason all of the air conditioning units were set around 50. I don't get that. If it's 120 outside, than going inside to 74 degrees is going to feel much cooler, right? Why force people to endure bowel liquefying temperature changes?
They did have a pretty nice science center, though.
I'm a Cleveland girl. When people think of Cleveland, they think of record-breaking lake effect snow, and that part is true. In the winter. What people don't realize is that summer is a humid time of bugs and ridiculous temperatures. We live on Lake Erie, and she is a fickle mistress. Every fifty years or so there's a cycle of different weather. Extreme to mild, to extreme again. This is the Lake Effect, and to be honest, it can either be wonderful or it can suck big time.
To be fair, this summer is MUCH less hot than last. Still---I'm bitter because I hate the sun (the giant carcinogen in the sky) and I hate sweating, and I hate feeling like I'm stepping into a furnace when I go outside to let the dog out.
People think I hate the sun because I'm pale and they assume I'm going to burn up. That's not true, and I do tan very well for someone with my naturally waxen complexion. I choose not to, because it's not great for you, and because I'd rather NOT roast my ass off under that radiation spewing humming yellow gaseous monster. What? You didn't know that the sun hums? Go rent a science documentary, it'll scare your pants off. The Sun is a necessary evil, and I intend protect myself with layers of SPF.
I like rain and wind and 72 degree and below weather. I LIKE snow. It's one of the reasons I put up with the freaking heat every three or so summers.
You know what today needs? A thunderstorm. Some fog. That would be nice.
