Morning.......
You forgot the part about walking uphill both ways.....
Whenever I feel homesick....
Talked to Dad and my oldest today. Was 115 plus smoke from the fires east of Phoenix.
Son was out by the pool at 9pm still over a hundred, dad was sitting outside 5 feet from a huge swamp cooler.
Right now all that open public land is closed due to fire restrictions. They havnt seen rain in months and the monsoons never came last year and really wont start till mid July, if at all.
So forgive me when I laugh at people bitching about heat and spraying wiper fluid to cool off their cars. You got no phucking clue. I spent hours in rush hour traffic in 122 plus with no AC. I spent hours running inmate work crews in 120 degree, in full sun in the desert. So hot you couldnt even touch your weapon without branding yourself with it like putting an iron to your cheek.
I walked my crippled ass a mile last week when the heat index was 108. 90 degrees and high humidity ain't got nothing on a convection oven.
I love Texas. At least where I'm at it wont get till a hundred till july and then only a couple hours a day over a hundred. That might happen 10 or 15 times a year usually. Back home it's a hundred by easter some times and and part of the year you can go days or weeks where the temp never gets under a hundred even at night.
Back home were lucky to get 7 inches a rain on a good year. Here we can get 7 inches of rain a week some times and 30 plus a year.
Back home you goto the lake and you have to hike an hour from the parking lot down hill to the waters edge cause it's so low. Here I'm 5 min from the lake and a few feet from the water.
