okay, this is the deal...

I live in a place that has hot summers...

like VERY hot summers...

but, this is the thing...they may be hot...
but it's a 'Dry Heat!'

this is a typical conversation...
someone that doesn't live in Redding, CA,
     "How can you live there, it's so HOT?"
someone who lives in Redding,
     "Well, it's a dry heat!"

and we are very {very} proud of our dry heat...

but then, this week something horrible happened...


115+ heat {today's high is supposed to be 117!}
37% humidity!

guess what people?

That's.NOT.a.dry.heat!

and folks, that's where pride gets ya...we get all proud of our dry heat and smack, right in the kisser, 37% humidity with 117 degrees outside...

it's like having extra sweat glands on the outside of your body!!!
nasty sweaty swollen glands...
