Chicago Heat Wave


I know this is the 2nd day of the official start of summer. I don't care. Chicago is currently in a heat wave. Now to most a heat wave is described as a prolonged period of excessively hot weather which is sometimes accompanied by high humidity.

Yeah.....my definition is any degree over 30. When it reaches 90 it is horrible. Now picture a hot flashing woman trying to hop around on one foot with the other foot encompassed in a winter fur jacket of many layers. Now picture said woman with her makeup streaking down her shirt and someone asks said woman, "Why are you sweating"?

First and foremost - woman don't sweat. We perspire. There are times we perspire a whole heck of a lot. Older women do this. Don't ask us anything when you see the perspiration. We are the older version of a PMS'ing female or a typical crabby male that gets told he has to do chores. Same difference. Just give us a fan and air conditioning and have sunglasses ready because you never know when we will start stripping. Plus an additional warning - I have learned to throw crutches like a javelin and hit the right spot every time.

I want winter back.
