I don’t know what the exact high today was in Fort Wayne today – or here – for that matter. Somewhere above 95 degrees with a knock you backwards heat index. Oh, yeah. At one point the thermometer in my car said the outside temperature was 102 on Lima Road.
Usually, I look at weather.com; usually, I have some inkling of the trend. But not this time. So when I left this morning with two passengers for an extended trip including two appointments and a super important stop for skinny jeans, I did not have HOT in mind.
Later, it would have me in body.
But since I did not know it was getting in the high 90’s, I assumed the cooler nights had made me more sensitive to days in the high 70’s and low 80’s. Then I didn’t believe my car’s thermometer . . . Oh, it’s been on asphalt all day. I watched for bank signs and then grew much hotter with each one that posted 98+ numbers.
That’s me – had I not known the true temperature, I would have said it was pretty warm today; now I think I almost melted in a sweltering, energy-leaching jungle.
And it’s going to be that way tomorrow! It will be a good day to stay inside and look for the hat. ACK! I had no more than typed that when I saw a notification of a comment from Albug about that very subject:
Maybe you had it on, then when you saw the mower problem you took it off to scratch your head. When you were inspired to use the tree and the crow bar your head got too big to put the hat on and you left it behind the fence. Then the dandelions carried it off to their hideout to use as ransom next spring to save their minions .
Time to call Dandelion Busters.
