The Heat Man Cometh


Well, if I had any doubt about whether I should take up Martin's suggestion about moving down to Florida, the last couple of days have proven that I have no interest in the weather down here. We have been slammed with a wave of heat that has dragged us into the upper 80s and 90s.

In all honesty, I have no interest in this kind of heat. You can't do ANYTHING when it is that hot. I am pretty much just hiding away inside the house trying to stay comfortable. We have the air conditioners going and we are off to the movies in a few minutes.

I finally talked Ray into going to say Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (review to follow sometime this evening!). It is not that he didn't want to see it, but he is not a big fan of movie theaters. He thinks they are just too expensive. I know that I have heard a number of mediocre reviews so I don't have great hopes for the movie, but I still really want to see it.

I just hope that we don't burst in to flames while we are driving there. I just keep getting these images of the tires on the truck melting and sticking to the road so we never actually make it there. Just kidding!

I wonder if we will break down and buy snacks. The cheapest popcorn/soda deal actually costs more than the price of a ticket! I am just so totally floored by that.

Well, the one good thing is that it will be comfortable in the theater, and we will hopefully enjoy the movie.

Catch you all laterz!

I just want to add something...my aunt just came in from Florida and was looking forward to things being a little cooler than back at home. Surprise! lol She said she never did get a break from the heat at all. Matter of fact, some places in Florida were cooler than here.

Well, I'm pretty much forced to stay inside during the day, so I'm in A/C anyway, regardless of what is going on outside. But, knowing it's summer-like is tremendous when I do head out because it means there is so much to do and so little obstacles to keep me from doing them. We were able to sit by the water, under the shade of a tree..and you wouldn't believe it, but the wind off the water was just brisk enough to make exposed skin get an occassional goosebump. It's often cooler outside than inside an un-airconditioned building at night, so we like to take a little walk sometime after dusk. It's just so nice that slippery roads or iced-up windshields do not have to be dealt with. I don't like excessive heat, either...especially with high humidity (I can get quite miserable)... but this is the time of year that is synonomous with "lots to do and lots going on", and I love it. There literally is more than a share of things to choose from every day, and so much of it is fun...maybe even cheap or free. When it's too hot to do anything else, I just go where there's water, even if I only stick my feet in.

I hate excesses of any kind. Humidity sucks unless you've got a lake or pool or something to cool off in.
We just had a severe storm over the weekend. It left people without electricity for hours and caused major flash flooding in low lying areas. The crappy weather also caused my high school graduation to be held indoors this year instead of outside -- first time in many years it wasn't held on the football field. This entire week is supposed to be rainy. I can just imagine what the mosquito season will be like.

Aaron, like you, I really don't like the heat! I like it about 72 degrees Farenheit, at all times! I think we're more like Ray... haven't been to a movie in ages. I didn't even know about the cost of popcorn & drink! Hope you had fun!

Check it out--we are COOLER with less humidity down here than you are up there--COME ON DOWN!!
Our paper had a front page story on the cost of movie tickets and especially how high concession stand prices are--some of the theatres have instituted a new policy--all tickets $5 on Tuesday--and all theatres have a 'reward' card to get free sodas, popcorn and movies--of course you ahve to spend a lot to get them BUT since I go to the movies at least once a week I do okay with the freebies!

The only thing I can do in a heat wave is diet. I just don't feel like eating in that heat. Looking forward to your review.

Such a wuss! It has been in the mid to upper 90's here for the last couple of weeks and will remain there until, I don't know, October?
