It's Not The Heat, It's the Heat AND the Humidity
It may not be officially summer but Florida does not wait for such things. As I look at my little Weatherbug gadget on the right hand edge of my screen, I note it says it's 92oF. I have no idea what that is in Celsius but it wouldn't feel any cooler just because the number is lower. The "realfeel" number is 108. It is hot! It is miserably hot. And sweaty... very sweaty... dripping, sticky, itchy sweaty.
I played golf yesterday morning. I wilted in the heat. Normally, we tee off before 8 AM. This helps a little because we get done by 11 AM or a little after. Yesterday, we teed off at 8:30 and things went slowly. Very slowly. Hit the ball, head for shade, wait for the group ahead to clear the green, hit the ball again, head for shade.
Slowly, oh so slowly, we seemed to crawl around the course. It was a regulation round of 4 hours. But it seemed much longer.
My 82 seemed like 98... maybe higher.

Minneapolis remains in the "cool" end of the thermometer, despite the date...
We did hit 80 the other day though. :-) We wandered about in the bright light, smiling and high-fiving each other.

Oh, you wacky Minnesotans... Y'all come creeping out into the light around this time each year, see your shadows and scurry back into those gray shadows. Or is that Pennsylvanians?
