Here comes the heat...


but it's a dry heat. If you don't live in this desert metropolis but know people who do, or if you do live here and are just trying to cope with what you know must be one of the rings of the underworld (that would be July, August and early September for sure) then you've uttered or heard uttered those very words often.

Today we will top out at 90 ish the local weather persons say. Around 1sih today while out and about the temperatures were 88 & 89, and as I turned on the air conditioning in the car I wondered, would I be any happier elsewhere? No probably not. I would more than likely cripe about the rain, snow, sleet, hail, humidity or other weather that is offered up in different locales, so it seems it may not be the weather per say just my need to gripe (cripe, or other words I use normally but will not assault the reader with here)

Is it really that bad to have 90 degree weather in April? Well, I believe yes it is! 90 degree weather now only gives us a foreboding sense of defeat as desert dwellers and the most certain knowledge that the short but beautiful period of pleasant weather may be at an end even earlier this year then last. Is it really time already for the pleasant little chill to be gone in the mornings replaced with the heat that most of the country gets at their highs during the day and that causes us to use a light sweater when walking to the car in the morning knowing that by 9am we will have removed the cursed sweater and have already started dripping with heat, causing us to long for a shower by 1030am???

but then again it's a dry heat, right?
