Whew! One of the hottest summers I remember, particularly for the month of June, has grabbed our attention. I am looking forward to fall and hoping for cool down soon. Cooler weather can’t come fast enough, at least for me.
I complain a lot about Tidewater summers. The humidity and high temperatures have always caused me to “lay low.” I grew up in northern Ohio on the cooler shores of Lake Erie country and when I first arrived in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 1959 for college at Randolph Macon Woman’s College I thought I had arrived in the tropics. I never acclimated. I stayed in Virginia and I still feel hot. All these many years later, I still think I am living in the tropics.
But I managed to have some fun this summer in spite of mostly being housebound enslaved in air conditioning. I did manage to take in a few air conditioned events that deserve attention.
