I decided that laughing about this heat may be a good blog topic. For those of you who don't live in Central Arizona, these things really have happened! Please note: ALL temperatures are in degrees Fahrenheit.
You know you are "enjoying" an Arizona summer when...
...you blister the bottoms of your feet - through your shoes.
...when crossing the street, the bottoms of your tennis shoes melt.
...when you go to bed, at 11:00 PM, the temperature is still over 100.
...when you get up, at 3:30 AM, the temperature is over 100.
...you comment about how humid it feels and the humidity is only at 7%.
...you aren't the least bit surprised that there is no rain with the thunder and lightening.
...when you go over a bridge, you are shocked that there is water in the wash.
...when the doctor asks you if you are having "excessive sweating" or "trouble sleeping", you look at him like he is an idiot. After all, it's 118 degrees outside and it hasn't dropped to below 90 in over a week!
...the type of dust storm that passed through occurs only in two other places in the world - the Middle East and the Sahara Desert.
...you can't charge your cell phone in the car because the over-heating circuit engages.
...the weatherman (correctly) exclaims that it is going to be chilly. The high is only going to be 103!
...you decided you "wanted some green out front" so you spray painted the rocks.
...even the weeds have a burnt look.
...you take a hot shower but only turn on the cold water side
...you haven't even had a cold shower since March.
...you have no clue how hot it is in the car because the LCD display on the thermometer fried and the other doesn't go that high.
...you know how hot it is in your car because you have an analog oven thermometer in your car. The digital oven thermometer had the LCD display fried.
...you have had money try to burn a hole through your pocket and your skin after picking up a lost coin in a parking lot.
...you do much of your cooking outside in a solar oven.
...the one day the clouds moved in and cooled everything off to 85 degrees, you wore a sweater.
...you left a CD laying on the seat of your car and it warped.
...when it starts to rain, you run outside to stand in it.
...you could hear rain hitting the roof and awning, but it evaporated before it got to your head.
I hope everyone's summer has been enjoyable.
