SATURDAY

It was 108 degrees in Columbia, SC today. That breaks the all-time record. I'm not sure most of you understand what that means. I contend that the difference between 100 and 101 is NOT one percent more discomfort. I would guess 10% more discomfort. Then you keep going to 102, which is 20% more discomfort than 101. You keep this shit up to 108 and you think you are going to fucking die. You can't breathe. You can't think. The bottoms of your feet are hot. Your scalp is hot. Your nasal cavities are hot.
Southerners get irritable in such discomfort. The drive-thru lady snarls at you for making her open her little window. No one holds a door open for another cause they want in the AC ASAP. Ice cream cones are stolen out of the hands of children. Trees weep. The water dripping for AC units causes gullies to form in otherwise well manicured lawns. My computer keys are flexible. 
The only upside is that the heat has killed off all the feral cats in the neighborhood; but their bodies just litter the lawns since no rodent or insect would dare venture out of the shade to consume the carcass.




It's a tax. Okay, then.

The government may force me to have health insurance, but they can never force me to respect my body.
