Some like it hot

Last night, it was 89 degrees at 8:00PM. This morning, it's already 86 at 10:30. We're supposed to be on our way to 96 or so. Oh, don't forget to tack on the obnoxious humidity of 80% or so!

Getting ready to go to the "Pig-Out" today, our church's version of a church picnic. Should be a good time. I've got my camera stuff, water stuff, folding chair, cooler and then of course my djembe in case we have the energy to play some music at some point. We'll see if I survive the heat.

Last night after work, I made a dreaded trip to Wal-Mart. I really do loathe going there. The new Target that's supposed to be coming can't get here soon enough. Wal-Mart is just so crowded and tight. I only go there to get dog food and bottled water. Everything else I get at Publix or some other grocery store. Oh, I do also send my photos under 8x10 to printed there. Unfortunately, they've got the best quality and prices locally for now. That's not so bad though - I do all that online and just come by the store to pick them up. Payment is handled online so I don't have to deal with checking out - the major cause of frustration on any Wal-Mart trip.

Met up with Kyle at Applebee's where Donna took care of us at the bar. I had my usual combination of food and drink while kicking back to relax. Talked about the heat situation with a guy named Corey. He's a welder down at a shop near Smith Lake. Take the temperature outside, add it to the heat inside a welding shop, put on a mask and heavy gloves and weld with 1500-2000 degrees inches in front of your face. THAT'S HOT. Applebee's A/C was straining to keep the temperatures down, a battle it was losing. It was a bit stuffy in there.

Off to take a shower. It's kind of a moot point since I'll bust out sweating as soon as I walk outside, but at least I'll enjoy being clean and fresh for a few minutes.
