gurdonarkI'm in the desert for a day, in 100 degree arid heat, before I go to the coast for a day, where June gloom may protect me. Yesterday someone said to me that the four degrees difference between 99 degrees and 103 degrees makes all the difference. Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing those critical four degrees, where the insight of a brow sweating away fever makes one perspire in cooling waves, both more alive and less urgent than when the heat fails to break that threshold of relief.

you never get used to. i was born here and
i'm not used to it. it gives a whole new
meaning to the phrase, "only mad dogs and
Englishmen go out in the noonday sun"

Date: 2003-06-23 09:52 am (UTC)I grew up in a land where the mercury hit 95 by 7:30 in the morning and hovered around 115 for most of the day, if it didn't edge even higher.
And we still had recess outdoors! I rode my bike to school in that, too. *shakes head in wonderment* 99 was downright cool to me, back then :-)
