Hot.....Is Hot!!

Know why trips to the Caribbean are cheaper in August & September????

Because it is HOT!!! It's HOT & dodging hurricanes is a sport this time of year! It's sticky, it's hot, it's still.......and the mosquitoes are vicious........wicked stealth mosquitoes, you never hear a buzz, you realize that they are there when you start getting weak from the blood loss!

But.....as hot as it is, it is nothing compared to how HOT it is in Arizona this time of year! I spent a summer working in Tuscon a few years back and OMG!!! People always say, "Oh but it's a dry heat." Oh, I am sorry people but 120 degrees, is just pure hot! I don't care if it's dry or not! It's like standing behind a bus everywhere you go. You can feel your lungs crackling as the air dries them as you breath...or try to breath! There is just something wrong with a place where it can be over 100 degrees at 10 o'clock at night! And do you know what that dry air does to your skin???? If I say creepy apple head dolls, do you get a mental image??? There you go, that's what your face starts to look like....doesn't matter how old you are! 5 year olds look like little tiny 60 year olds!

I am sorry but, I'm convinced that people don't retire to Arizona, they are actually dead and are in hell and just don't know it!

I am not an Arizona in the summer fan! I don't like being misted when I sit at a restaurant, I don't like hearing my hand sizzle when I touch a car door and I don't like feeling my skin wrinkle! Really, I'm not much of a fan of any place where something bites you, burns you or sticks you any time you get out of your car. It's just wrong! Let me tell you those were some tough and/or crazy original settlers that whipped the covered wagons over to the side of the trail and said, "well this looks like a great place for a town!"

I guess this means I'll just keep sitting here baking on this rock in the middle of the ocean, dodging hurricanes, fighting killer stealth mosquitoes and having nice plump wrinkles.


Glad to see that it looks like FL has dodged the hurricane bullet this time...but keep your guard up, the season has a long way to go!

Have a great Tuesday everyone!

BE BOLD, EAT CHOCOLATE, WEAR ART!!!
