Have any of you ever seen the book, Would You Rather...? In it, the authors have created hundreds of ridiculous and silly situations where the reader must choose between two completely awful scenarios. Examples: would you rather have reversed elbow joints or reversed knee joints? (I'd go for the reversed knee joints - otherwise your arms would face the wrong way.) Would you rather eat a block of butter or a block of salt? (Butter - you probably would die after eating that much salt. Though you may die 20 years later from a heart attack with the butter.)
One of the questions is would you rather freeze to death or burn to death? After yesterday, my answer is a resounding, "Bring on the blizzard!" It was soooooooo hot the other day. And of course this was the day I chose to walk 10 blocks from my work to another office to work on a project. 10 blocks. In the hot sun. With no shade. With no water. At noon. (Granted, I could have arranged it to go over in the morning, but hey, I'm not that's not the way it worked out.)
Then after work, I took the wrong bus and had to walk about 7 blocks to get to where I should have been. At 4 in the afternoon. In the hot sun. Without water.
Sidenote: there were four men sitting on the freeway overpass counting cars. They were too busy to explain to me why and for whom they were doing the counting. I-5 is a busy freeway.
Anyways, the Central Valley in the summer does not equal funness and frivolity. Instead, it equals dehydration and sweat. So move to California like everyone else and enjoy the weather.
