Please allow me to interject my feelings about Mother Nature

Was it a dry heat?

 

I was in Sacramento in July for my mom’s birthday during the first Covid summer. Naturally everything was outside. But if it wasn’t 100 degrees, it was damn close. I was fine all morning. Had water, shade and wasn’t doing much. But we went to lunch and the outdoor area didn’t have much shade and I had the sun right on me. Just was not feeling good and was dizzy. At some point, I just excused myself to the bathroom and day in the AC for 5 or 10 minutes. Finally before we left, I lay up against a car for a bit before I drove to the Bar Area. Man it was not a fun experience.

 

Sitting in a parked car watching a Deep South gullywasher that is more beautiful than any 6 on the board.

 

Besides the heat, the other most memorable thing about that round of golf were the two guys who joined us. Talk about complete assholes. They were locals and obnoxious as hell. They kept calling us tourists, they were loud and profane, and one guy kept throwing his clubs. At one point, I told them that, yes, we were visiting Vegas, but without tourists, there wouldn't even be a town. So enjoy living in the damn desert. Great timing, the marshal was nearby when A-HOLE No. 1 threw a club. The marshal kicked them off the course. We got to play the last 11 holes as a twosome, which made it a quicker trip to the margaritas.

 

The reason Beryl is taking a hard right turn: There is a cold front up in Oklahoma that is making a run at us. If the storms hold together, they'll roll in about 11 p.m. We haven't had a drop of rain since June 7.

 

Heat has never bothered me.
I love summer. It could be 95 every day and I would be fine with it.
Now me and the cold don’t see eye to eye at all.
When we retire, the first time the mercury gets below 55, it’s off to Phoenix for 3-4 months.

 

I like the cold so long as I can get warm. If I’m just sitting and miserable, I hate the cold. But I take cold over hot all day. I can add if it’s cold. It’s really hard to subtract if it’s hot.

 

I can deal with the hot if we're talking about high 80s/low 90s with reasonable dew points. The 97 degree days with a dew point in the upper 70s are pure hell.

 

Yep. And Virginia has been exactly like that for more than a month, save a day or two here and there.

The day I never have to deal with swamp-ass DC summers again is the day I can die happy.

 

Welcome to Alabama!

 

I have to cut grass while I'm on vacation this week, and I damn near got a boner when I saw the high on Wednesday will only be 89 degrees.
