hot hot heat

i am done with this heat in redding.
it is 10:06 pm and it still reads 98!!!
the last four days i have eaten just one meal a day, only because it's so hot you don't even want to prepare a meal. however i have eaten more ice cream then one should be able. and boy have we gotten creative with how many ways you can consume ice-cream:
ice-cream sundaes
ice-cream sandwiches
gelato
popsicles
milkshakes
frappicinos
fudge pops
frozen fruit bars
no lie, this is all we eat!
this is one thing that i will not miss about redding. not one bit. nothing you could convince me is good about heat.
you say lakes, i say floating trash.
you say tan, i say cancer.
you say picnic, i say ant bites.
even when i think about the opportunity to have an iced coffee, i think about the non-chance of a delicious perfectly rich foamy (hot) latte. 
and i don't know if you would agree with me ladies, but there is a lot more that can be done with a wardrobe in the cooler months.
 i am also pretty sure that God spends his summers in Monterey or Carmel.

yeah, i know what you mean. if i didn't spend the first 23 summers of my life in that hellish hot weather i'd probably never come to redding in the summer. as it is, i just deal with it. and i take my shirt off when i drive anywhere if its over 105 because nobody likes a sweaty back. now i'm just ranting.

also, thanks for adding me to the list. makes me feel good. gonna miss you guys.
