Dancing with Ma Nature…
I just checked and the current temperature in the little town in which I live on the Great Plains of Turtle Island is 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The official government weather prognosticators predicted a high temperature of 106 degrees for today. So we are not quite there yet.
Those aforementioned weather prognosticators are usually wrong to at least some degree. But I am really, really, really hoping that they are correct about their forecast for the day after tomorrow.
For Tuesday they are saying that our high temperature will only be 47 degrees (Fahrenheit). I’m a terrible mathematician but I think that is actually less than half the temperature of what it is today. If that prediction comes to pass I may actually go an entire day without my air conditioner on. Hell, I might even have to get out my long pants.
You know, I have on occasion entertained the thought of moving to a country that uses the Celsius methodology of temperature taking. Celsius numbers are always so much smaller than Fahrenheit numbers that it surely must be cooler, right?
Right now it is 82 degrees (Fahrenheit) inside my apartment — and that is with the air conditioner going full blast. (If I were to turn off the air conditioner the temperature inside my apartment would exceed the temperature outside.)
