IT IS HOT. Yes, THAT HOT. The dashboard thermometer read 104 degrees this afternoon as I sludged my way around Harbison. If people were looking for a cool place to go, the mall was not it. I don’t know if it was all the people, the random power surge, or the automatic doors constantly opening and closing, but the A/C didn’t seem to be working today!
Even worse, many folks have not gotten the memo about this time of year in the South. But if you’d like to read it….here goes:
- Put on some deodorant in the morning before you go out. Take a little travel-sized deodorant with you to freshen up throughout the day. Don’t make me have to explain to my daughter YET again in the middle of the Wal-mart that the smell of rotten onions she’s smelling is not actually rotten onions.
- Take a shower daily….heck, take two. Use soap. Wash your legs with said soap (and your feet!) I read the other day that some people don’t intentionally wash their legs and feet. That the running water just “does the job for them.” Nope, nope, nope. And nope.
- Men, I know you think that the sleeveless shirts look good. They probably ARE cooler. But in no way, shape, or form do I enjoy seeing wild armpit hair fluffing by me as I wait in line at good ol’ McDonald’s. Looks like a Chia Pet that needs trimming. No thanks.
That’s all I’ve got for now. I may just keep it at three Rules for Hot Weather in the South. Hopefully, everyone can remember three little things.
That's So Fletch
