It Is So Hot…
the cows are giving evaporated milk.
the chickens are laying hard-boiled eggs.
hot water now comes out of both taps.
you burn your hand opening the car door.
you realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
you start buying stock in Gatorade.
you start putting ice cubes in your water bed.
you no longer associate rivers with water.
you can say 113 degrees without fainting.
your dream house is any house in Alaska.
you can make instant sun tea.
your car overheats before you drive it.
As a very, very, very young child I vaguely remember hearing Nat King Cole sing about those “lazy, hazy, crazy, days of summer”. Anymore not many summer days can be called “lazy”. Our summers have become so busy that even some children are happy to see school start again. Those lazy days of ole, seem to have all been replaced by just more crazy days. That makes summer a whole lot like all the rest of the year.
Perhaps the craziest days of summer are the days when High Schools and Colleges require football players to practice while the heat index is around 100 degrees. Football is actually the one and only sport which I do enjoy watching! However, all of the ballgames in the world are not worth the life of one young person. No matter how drastic the change must be, this needs to be fixed.
