Heatwave


Just served Mom a hot grilled cheese sandwich in our ice-cream-freezer-of-a-house while it's nearly 100 degrees outdoors. Today we talked about AC. More than anything else, I believe it prolongs life in this day and age, especially in the south! Growing up we had the window kind that blew right on you in your small bedroom and grew frosty coats of ice from condensation, but not all our rooms had AC. Mostly, we ran through the sprinkler or just refused to move for long periods as the heat bore down on us like a tight blanket. When that blanket covered your mouth, it was airless. Mom says the colder the temperature, the easier she can breathe. I don't know who invented the airconditioner but I'm glad it's here and chillin.
