Southern Summer

I just stepped out on my deck to see how much it has cooled since the sun went down. Our high today was 99.4 and the heat index was 120. Now it's 9:00 PM and the temperature is 91 and the heat index is 114. That's summer time in the south...sporadic heat lightning but no thunder and not even a hint of rain. It's the kind of weather that goes with a front porch, a rocker and the almost inaudible murmur of a wide summer drained river. Even the crickets have slowed down and the dog sleeps with her tongue hanging out.

Where, the hell is the windchill when we need it?
