Well, here we are almost a week into 90+ degree temps in the Mitten. There's been a lot of complaining about the heat, the humidity, and so forth. Most of the complaints I've heard come from people who have central air in their homes. To them I'd like to say: "Put a sock in it, you whiny bastard!" I'm fortunate enough to work in an office building with central air, so when the heat swelters during the hottest part of the afternoon, I'm super cool, almost frigid. However, when it's time to go home, I dread hanging out in my hot box of a home. I'm one of those people without central air you see. Now before you go feeling sorry for me, I will state that I have window unit in my bedroom, so at least during the night I'm cool. The rest of the house however has been getting up 90 degrees which makes relaxing at home somewhat uncomfortable. Watching the Weather Channel while sitting in a puddle of yourself is none to fun, let me tell you.
My one solace is my hillbilly blow up pool that I acquired for $20.00 last summer. Yes, I find it trashy, but I at least have the decency to put it in my BACK yard where not too many people will see me wading in 2 feet of water attempting to stay cool.
On the plus side, the weather will be breaking sometime this weekend. We'll be back into the lower to mid-eighties by next week and all will be well in the land of Summer. While it's hot now, I'm trying not to complain about it because I know come January when it's bitter cold, we'll all have something else to complain about.
