It's Not the Same...Don't get mad at me!

It's Hot! Yes, I know.  We've been in this crazy heat wave.  On Saturday, it was 103o in Baltimore, but it felt like something like 115o.  Everyone, that I know, plus their brother, their dog, and their sister's friend who live in Antarctica was complain about the heat.  Yes, it's hot! We know!  My perspective is slightly different on the heat though.  I spent a month in Thailand in April...the high season. It is their summer.  If you want to feel the heat go to Thailand the month before rainy season starts.  There you will feel the humidity and the sweltering heat, especially in Bangkok.  On our 3rd day there, the actual temp was roughly 50o Celsius. Yeah that's 120o F!   That does not include the heat index and what were we doing that day?  We took a tour of Ayutthaya where there is virtually no shade at all.   In my world, 103o isn't really that bad. Take a bottle of water, and you'll be okay.  It's not like we haven't had sporadic days of extreme heat. Acclimate yourself to it and then move on.  But again, this is my perspective and some people can't relate.  Rather, these same people are actually getting mad at me when I tell them I don't think it's really that hot.   I have quickly learned my lesson and I smile and nod.  Yes this is my life....

Ooh I have a fantastic story to share later. I got stopped by narcotics officers. Only I didn't know they were narcotics officers until I got to work and explained the story to my friend who is from Detroit.  Even at 31, I'm so sheltered and green.  I wouldn't want to be any other way, though.  I don't need to know how they roll. It's not my lifestyle.  The experience was fascinating though.  

I went to Joe's Crab Shack for my BFF's birthday.  That was an experience!  It's so much work picking crabs.  It's part of my Maryland culture, though.  Can I have crab cake, instead?
