Scorched Earth

Just going to say what's on everyone's mind:  it's fucking hot out there.  I know that it is summer time and the weather always gets warm this time of year, but it is way too early to be seeing heat advisories.  Especially in Minnesota.  Kansas, I understand.  And I accepted that fact.  That was one reason why leaving that state was such a great move, so we didn't have to deal with the heat.  

I checked my the weather on my phone yesterday while on lunch and a heat advisory was in effect from Sunday afternoon until Monday night.  Now, I remember last year that there was a heat advisory in Wichita that was somewhere in the range of seventy two hours, but that was in August.  August is a miserable month.  Everyone wants it to be fall because they are sick of being so hot.  The weather can't make it's mind up, it'll be hot and sunny then cold and cloudy.  It's just a shitty month. 

I didn't necessarily forget about humidity while dealing with one hundred degree days in Kansas, it just wasn't high on the priority list of things to think about.  There was a little humidity in the air, but not like it is up here.  It was eighty degrees when I left work last night at ten o'clock, but with the humidity, it just sucked the life right out of you.  I came home and took a shower just to cool down and wash the sweat off. 

It doesn't look like it will be a fun summer unless the weather starts to cooperate.  When it gets this hot outside, it takes away one thing that is great about living in a bigger city.  Being outside.  There are so many parks and outdoor activities to be taken in, but who wants to do that when it is so hot and humid out that it is much better and more comfortable to sit inside?
