88 Degrees and then . . .

Ninety – 90- yes, hot. For us. I don’t believe the humidity is predicted to be too high, though.

Of course, I am sitting in air-conditioning. That is because pretty much everyone has AC today, which, in turn, means that for the most part, the outside has a lot fewer trees. It also means that in my lifetime, people have gone from greeting one another with a ‘Whoa, it’s going to be another scorcher’ to waiting until they have made it from car to mall (or Wal-Mart)  to acknowledge anyone.

I remember when we used to wait minute by minute, hour by hour, for the heat to ‘break’ – ah, that cool air that moved in after a storm. It was an Alka-Seltzer weather moment.
