Hot! it's hot here!

I was born and raised in Georgia, land of southern heat which starts in April in ends in early November. Hot land. (Oooohhh, maybe that's why they nickname the city Hotlanta!) I didn't know it when I was growing up though. Oh, I knew when we were having a hot day or many hot days; I knew our summers were hot; I thought I knew what hot was.

But now I've lived in the Pacific Northwest for almost 30 years. The Georgia has been thoroughly taken out of this girl. A "little hot spell" (a few days of 90s+), for such as I laughed at Northwesterners 30 years ago because they complained as though dying of heat stroke, I now melt away in, sleep away in, find a fan and vegetate in. Oh, oh, whine, whine, it is HOT! It is hot here!
