Upstate New York is in the midst of an Alabama style heat and humidity wave. It has been in the upper 80's and 90's for the last ten days and is continuing until Saturday. The dew point is the real culprit, typically in the upper 60's and low 70's. The air is extraordinarily thick, making outdoor activities a challenge.
There are some good things coming from these weather conditions though. Amazingly MW and I came up with ten of them!
1. Who needs a diet plan? In this heat and humidity I can lose six pounds in an hour of exercise.
2. Wringing out my socks on plants so I don't have to water them with a hose.
3. Taking a shower and still sweating when done.
4. Fluid loss is an excuse to drink more alcohol?
5. Chafing, whoa, that hurts in the shower!
6. Sweat works like breadcrumbs to help you find the way home.
7. You can leave a great butt-print on your front step where you sat to take off your sloshy shoes.
8. Using my sweat soaked clothes to fill Lou's pool.
9. Excess sweat works great in a spray bottle as an ant killer.
10. It's fun to fling sweat from my running hat and clothes onto co-runners.
