Saturday 9 meme: Heatwave

1. It’s July. How has the weather been where you are? High 80's up to low 90's. A bit much for me.

2. What is the best way for you to beat the heat? A/C unit, dark room, cold drink.

3. “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.” Do you buy that? Not really. Hot is hot. I think you sweat more in humid heat, and dry heat might help arthritis--that would be the main difference.

4. Do you like hot tubs or saunas? Hot tubs, but not when it's hot.

5. What’s the hottest you’ve ever been? Corvallis, Oregon, summer of 1993. I was living in a second-floor apartment with no window screens or A/C units, and it was 104 degrees. UGH.

6. How many times do you hit the beach in the summer?

Not often. I like beaches where you can wear sweaters.

7. When you were a kid, what did you do in the summer?

Read, hung out at friends' houses, avoided my family.

8. Surfing. Have you ever gotten on a surfboard? Body surf? No.

9. What’s your favorite summer song? "The Warmth of the Sun" by the Beach Boys
