Non-blistering Temps
I have excitedly packed PANTS and a BLAZER for wearing whilst out West.
And FLEECE and WOOL LAYERS for backpacking.
These are words that have been struck from my vocabulary since I came home in June.
Man, it'll be good to get a reprieve from this Florida summertime. Oy. I feel for y'all in NYC and anywhere without A/C. We only use the A/C at night at my house, so that we can sleep, but it really does make all the difference. Ironically, the weather down here is actually cooler than that in loads of other places in the country right now. It may be hot for longer down here, long enough that we can grow avocados and pineapples in the back yard, but we just don't get those kinds of heat waves that swallow other places whole. It's reliably, steadily, suffocatingly hot, yes, but (relatively) moderate compared to what the big cities and the Midwest are dealing with this summer.
