"Whew! I Have Decided..."

...that my Arizona lungs do not mix well with with this
soggy, supersaturated Midwest humidity.

Yesterday started off muggy...

I knew that immediately when I awakened

to find the outside windows

dripping wet

and fogged over. Geesch!

Then by 3:00 in the afternoon

the air temperature here in Sycamore, Illinois was

90 degrees...

the dewpoint was 81 degrees...

making the THI (Temperature Humidity Index)

feel like it was 108 degrees!

Say WHAAAAAT????? UGH!
We then ended the day
with a tornado warning and fast moving thunderstorms.

The temps have dropped a bit...but

it's still not time

to open the windows for fresh air.
All is now quiet...and somewhat settled

except

for the classical chatter of crickets

and

the drone of our faithful air conditioner.
Thanks,

but, NO THANKS!!!

This is not

what I expected of August in Illinois.

As of this writing

desert heat is by far more preferable to me.

My Muse decided to

drew her impression of my "sweltering lovliness"

as we were both held captive indoors...the entire day...

again!!!

Whewwwwwwww!!!

Just Sayin'! :)
