Today's big story? It's HOT! Oh my goodness, it's
hot. And it's SO humid making a heat index that makes it seem
even HOTTER! Be cautious! Stay indoors! Or this
obvious effect of our self-inflicted global warming might kill
you!
Check the calendar, people. It's early August. OF COURSE,
it's hot! It's the middle of the SUMMER in the SOUTH! And
everywhere else, for that matter.. Everywhere else north of the
Equator, anyway. Of course, it's hot. And this is nothing
new. I remember when my hair was naturally brown and FM radio was
new, stations whose frequencies were 98, 99, 100, 101, or whatever
would have contests in which they'd give away prizes when the
temperature hit 98, 99, 100, 101, or whatever. And prizes were
awarded every Summer, because temperatures have gotten this high every
Summer for as long as there has been Summer. Be glad it's hot, or
there
might REALLY be something about which to worry. So shut up about
it!
