On Sunday it was 105° here in North Texas. The weather fellas said it felt like 112° or higher. I was content staying in doors and enjoying the lovely air conditioning.
And then a fuse blew somewhere and the neighborhood experienced a blackout. Soooooo, we decided to hop in the car and go find some ducks to feed some stale bread to. It was meant to be a quick trip because I had no desire to be out in the heat. Plus I figured everyone else would be hiding out inside as well right?
WRONG!
We arrived to the park and saw more people than I have ever seen before out on a Sunday. Were these people crazy? Had the heat affected their common sense? Were they in some parallel universe where it was 78° for them? What was going on?
There were people on benches in jeans.
There were people bicycling.
People were taking pictures in the hot sun… in ALL black!
People playing volleyball.
People jogging.
Parents trying to melt their small children.
I was shocked. And honestly, watching all of them move around was making me even hotter. Like WUTTTTT!?!?!?! There were even people golfing, playing softball and horseshoes. Who does that?!?!?!?!
I figured it was best I go home because I certainly didn’t want to get bit by the crazy heat bug that was going around. I’ve been sick enough these past few weeks without adding something else to the list.
Do you go out in the heat and do vigorous exercise?
