Stupidly Hot.
Another unseasonable So Cal heat wave, and let me tell you it is hot. Stupidly hot. Too hot to go to school. Not too hot to work, because there is air conditioning here, but the coffee sucks and there is nothing good to eat.
Too hot to be at home, because we only have air conditioning in the master bedroom and I am too fucking cheap to run the thing. The sea breeze doesn’t come up till after 7 p.m., and all afternoon the black roofing tiles bake in the heat and radiate up into our upstairs windows.
The dogs lie in the dusty bits of the garden to keep cool. The kids run around in their underwear. When I get home, I can’t get my bra off fast enough. It’s too hot to run the stove or the oven, and definitely too hot to fold clothes warm from the dryer. My kids are wrinkled, but I’m too hot to care.
Is this global warming? June in So Cal tends to be overcast and a bit chilly. If I’m counting correctly, this is our fourth heat wave since April. But I’m too hot to keep track. And dreading September and October, when the real heat sets in.

Hello suburban hippy…
I don’t think that CAL-I-FORN-I-A has any thing over the stink’in, stifling hot, sticky, mosquito infested, algae swamp stink in’, no air moving, humid, hurricane weather that we have here in Florida…you seem to have a few more pyro’s there so maybe your air is denser and more polluted but I do feel that we have you on the heat and humidity. At night it isn’t much different here. Except that the sun is not beating down on you.
Perhaps, we should change places like that TV show, where they change the wives…
July and august…the only thing moving here are the mosquitos and the sand fleas.
I vote we move to the Fiji Islands where it is 70 degrees all year long. Neither one of us would have to worry about being fed to the volcanos…volcanos Gods only want virgins.
Let me know when you get in the 3 digit temp zone and I will let you know about the same here.
Let’s hope that the ice machine on the frigid doesn’t break.
This is an official invitation for you to come and visit me at my blog.
See ya’ in the funny papers…
Southern smiles and world peace,
Sharon
