Well, we’re not exactly going just because it’s hot. We’re going to attend a 40th anniversary celebration for Eddie’s aunt and uncle, but the trip couldn’t have come at a better time, because it’s so hot! We fast forwarded from mild spring weather straight to dog-day, August-style heat. I never appreciated mountain summers until I moved out of the mountains. Summers in the Piedmont can be quite oppressive heat-wise, but usually the terrible heat waits until July. Of course, it’s a trade-off, because the Winters here tend to be milder than in the mountains.
I don’t like the heat though…can’t handle it. To me a 95 to 100-degree day is equal to a severe winter day, because I have to stay in. Last year during the oppressively hot months we did some indoor home improvement…painting and re-doing our floors downstairs…in the A/C!
Anyway, we leave today for a short weekend trip. While it’s not exactly cool in the mountains it’s less hot than here, and every little degree counts when it’s this hot.
