Not my story, but one I thought you might enjoy....
JUST START ME OFF HERE...
June 30th: Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a
problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an
air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun
everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper.
July 10th: Had the backyard landscaped with western
plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze
to maintain. No more mowing lawns for me. Another
scorcher today, but I love it here.
July 15th: The temperature hasn't been below 100 all
week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At
least, it's kind of windy though. But getting used to
the heat is taking longer than I expected.
July 20th: Fell asleep by the community pool. (Got 3rd
degree burns over 60% of my body). Missed 3 days of
work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson
though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like
this.
July 25th: I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the
car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the
hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to the
size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water
balloon. The car now smells like Kibbles and shits. I
learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat.
Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.
July 30th: The wind sucks. It feels like a giant
freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home
air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman
charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to
order parts.
Aug. 4th: Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3
nights now, $225,000 house and I can't even go
inside. Lomita is the lucky one. Why did I ever come
here?
Aug. 8th: It's 115 degrees. Finally got the
air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the
temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.
Aug. 9th: If another wise booty cracks, 'Hot enough for
you today?' I'm going to strangle him. Damn heat. By
the time I get to work, the radiator is boiling over,
my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked
cat!!!
Aug 10th: Tried to run some errands after work. Wore
shorts, and when I sat on the seats in the car, I
thought my booty was on fire. My skin melted to the
seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the
back of my legs and booty.... Now my car smells like
burnt hair, fried booty, and baked cat.
Aug. 14th: The weather report might as well be a damn
recording Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny.
It's been too hot to do shit for 2 damn months and the
weatherman says it might really warm up next week.
Doesn't it ever rain in this damn desert? Water
rationing will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus
will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't
live in this damn heat.
Aug. 20th: Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115
today. Cactus are dead. Forgot to crack the window and
blew the damn windshield out of the car. The installer
came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you today?"
My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail.
Freaking Arizona.What kind of a sick demented idiot
would want to live here?? Will write later to let you
know how the trial goes
