Today is the first official day of summer. More like the first day of simmer. I don’t know what it’s like in your neck of the world, but here in the armpit, we’re expecting 100+ degree temperatures (a hundred and eleventy, to be precise-ish), along with a rash of bat-shit crazy behavior.
It happens. Heat makes some folks do nut-job things. Just the other day, the first hot day in a while, the heat led some crazy old dude to walk down our street with an axe. None of us knew the old dude, but we all recognized an axe. And we all went inside and locked our doors. Dag.
As we move into the heat of simmer summer, let’s take care of ourselves and each other. Let’s remember to wear sunscreen and hats. And for the love of pete, hydrate, will ya? I know it’s uncomfortable, but that’s no reason to lose our minds and do things we’ll regret once we’ve cooled down. Even in the heat – let’s try to stay cool. Okay?
