Blazing in the Emerald City

I would just like to give a little shout out to those who lived their entire lives without air conditioning. They deserve a gigantic reward. Unexpectedly, Seattle is having some hundred degree (and over) weather...this is not usually the case, and so not many people have A/C. Let's just say: its difficult to deal with. I've never known what a huge wimp I am. Its embarrassing how much I've been whining. Hot, hot, hot. And then, I think about my brother, for example, in Mexico, surviving 121 degree heat...with no A/C, of course. Or my grandpa, who was stationed in Gainsville, TX back in the day. They just had to sit in their offices and hope a breeze blew in the window. WOW. Now that's toasty.
So basically, I'm baby. And a whiner.
I don't have it bad.

Don't worry Natalie, we have air conditioning and I still complain about the heat.

LOL! Nat! I am a big whiner when it comes to being too hot! And on top of that I'm extremely grouchy! We don't have a/c and we mostly don't need it, but everyone in my family would pay top dollar during the weeks it's over 90 because mom is so witchy!

Holy Moses... I don't think I ever saw Seattle reach even 90 degrees my whole life growing up there. You're not SUPPOSED to need A/C there! What's going on???!!!
