IT'S TOO DAMN HOT! I managed to make my way through a couple of Dallas summers, but there is no lie to the ole "it's not the heat, it's the humidity" claim. This week in Huntsville, we're expecting highs of 100-103 degrees and rare clouds. Add the 70-80% of relative humidity and it is damned impossible to breathe when outdoors. I will take the whithering dry heat of Dallas with the solid wall of overheated steam that one walks through upon exiting a building and trying to inhale enough oxygen so you can get into your car and survive until the A/C gets into gear.

Let it be known, I'm going to be a twitchy, angry bastard over the next week as I suffer through this. Thankfully, I mowed the yard last week and won't have to brave the heat to keep the grass in check. Every July and August I'm reminded why I was so adamant to move to Chicago or further north after college. What I always have to prepare myself when September comes around is to take advantage of the two weeks where things will be absolutely delightfully 70's before the sudden shift to the 50's.
