The Moments When You Really Feel the Heat

Bakery Open Today The forecast was for a couple degrees cooler, only to reach 114 locally. I took home a croissant and a sticky bun. An occasional indulgence there, instead of the coffee house chain, and its wonderful sandwiches.

The few degrees does make a difference. I was just out walking on the patio in the noon sun, with my wide brimmed hat. Thermometer says 110 even. Barely felt the heat.

Even yesterday when it was pushing 118, sitting in the shade, one felt the dryness more than the raw heat. Except when the wind blew, even just a gentle breeze. Then one feels the heat like a blast from a nearby fire.  Stillness is better.
