So easy to forget

How easy it is to forget what it is like to be hot. I have a vague memory of living in non-air conditioned apartments in the midwest and weekends had to spent at the movies, in restaurants or my personal favorite the Mall of America. One had to take several showers a day to keep the sweat off and there was generally as little movement as possible. Today it was one of those days here in the Bay Area where everyone complains if the temperature deviates from the 68-78 degree norm. Today it was hot, I turned on the ceiling fan, I was sweating in my car, the cat is a lazy mass of fur. I walked up to my office this morning and all I could think about was how I was uncomfortable in this heat and that's just not right. Walking around outside shouldn't cause discomfort, it should be pleasant. There must have been a day or two of heat last summer, as I blogged about it, but a year has passed and it's been so easy to forget.
