It's so hot!

It's so hot, yesterday I saw a birds use a potholder to pull worms out of the ground.

Maybe there's something to this Global Warming concept after all. We've had more days over the century mark this year than in the last 30 years. Where's Al Gore? First he invented the Internet, now global warming. The man has to be pure evil.

I would hate to be a television meteorologist right now. There have to be nut jobs out there thinking that the person on TV controls the weather. I blame Bill Murray. In "Groundhog Day" (One of my favorite movies), Murray's character, Phil Conners, a weather man declares, "I make the weather.", as an unexpected blizzard hits the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, leaving him stranded.

I think I watch too many episodes of "Criminal Minds" because I can picture some sociopath watching the news, sweating like a turkey on Thanksgiving because his swamp cooler isn't getting the job done and he's planning the magic weather person's demise.

I know a lot of people love the heat. I don't understand it. I can't function in triple digit weather. I need to be in an air conditioned environment. My parents used to live in Tucson, Arizona. Fortunately, I had already left the nest and could choose the time of year to visit. My parents came to their senses and moved to Idaho for my father's final years. 

My mother hates the cold, so she quickly high tailed it out of there, splitting for Yuma, Arizona. I know! Talk about a shock to the system. She bought a mobile home there which, in the summer is called a Dutch oven. Now she lives in Parumph, Nevada. Parumph is very near Las Vegas and known as Nevada's "Base camp to Adventure", where you can enjoy temperatures around 114°.

I have three friends who live in Las Vegas. I love them all, but I think they seriously need therapy. If I lived in such a miserable climate, I would hibernate like a bear all summer long. I would be a hermit and lose whatever limited mental faculties I still have. I would become like Leo Dicaprio's character in "Shutter Island", which was essentially "A Beautiful Mind" meets "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". I would become insane.

Like I'm not already.

See you tomorrow.
