105 Degrees
This past Saturday, we drove out to see T's parents' newest home in Danville, Arizona... I mean, Danville, California. And while it's only forty minutes away, psychologically it seems a state away. This was only exacerbated by the extreme climate change. A pocket of dry arid heat that was sitting over the Tri-Valley area on Saturday. 105 degrees at midday. We got out of the nicely air-conditioned Subaru and the second we felt the rays, my skin began tingling. I had flashbacks to my childhood and the harsh summers of Northern Texas.
