Ode To Humidity
|
Ode To Humidity  Out through my window the day appears fair. There's no sign to be seen of what waits in the air. The sun brightly shining, the birds flying by with nothing to indicate all is not dry. Yet outside it lurks, and it's best to be ware. Water vapor! Water vapor! It's saturated out there! I just took a shower, I'm cleaner than clean. To my car I must go, but what lies in between? Infernal heat, and humidity yet, with the first three steps I started to sweat. Upon reaching the car I open its door through which blasting heat begins to outpour. Da heck with all this, my body is dripping! To my once clean torso my shirt is now sticking. The car's like an oven, and that's all it took to prove at long last that it's true keithcancook. While I never had doubt, I guess we all can agree, that the guy is a hero, who invented AC. blog on! |

  My two biggest summer peeves: humidity and mosquitoes. Here in the Midwest, we grow a lot of corn. Recent advances in planting have allowed farmers to plant the corn more densely and to get more bushels per acre when harvesting. The problem is that corn produces humidity; more densely planted corn produces even more humidity. Scientists have shown that the effect isn't that localized. The nearest corn crops to Chicago are probably thirty-some miles away but they are west of the city and the prevailing winds blow from that direction. So, the average humidity in Chicago has increased by about 10 percent in the past ten years because of corn. AKA The Clit Whisperer.

Wish I had been the guy who did invent A/C. With all this heat no way to do without it, unless you might live underground.

Yeah, Mother Nature seams to be turning up the heat across the whole country.

I'm so happy you like it, Chelsea darling. In many ways you have inspired it. For one thing, whenever I think of us I often have visions of us sweating together happily. Mmmm, yummy!  blog on!

If inspiration without perspiration is impossible, why do so many smart people come from cold climates?  Recent post: [post 2369941]

It's miserable here too, deadly even. I don't understand people mowing the yard in the heat of the day anyway but do that now and...you die. It's a simple fact. I don't think this part of the country would have ever survived without A/C. Yellow fever almost wiped out Memphis once and I wonder when something is going to come around again to this backwater area. The only thing that has probably saved us is ac, window screens, and deet. Heat and mosquitoes are not a good combination for the south. Next up, Dengue Fever. If you must go outside; stay hydrated, wear a hat, keep a cool towel around your neck, take frequent breaks, and keep an eye on those working outside and on your neighbors.

I thing I might have died this summer if we didn't have air conditioning. "Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened."
