Heat

Electric bill in the south
Jerry Wayne Live

I know of what he speaks. It got up to 95 here today, and yes, we turned the AC on. Truth be told, 95 here feels a tad warm, but it sure ain't like Houston. I spent a couple years there and I have no desire to go back. Also spent a couple of years in Arizona where it gets frying pan hot, but you don't melt like you do in Houston. My oldest son was born in July in Phoenix and Grandma came to visit. We had the AC cranked on to keep mama cool. Grandma cooks up a storm in the all electric kitchen and I got a $400 electric bill, back in 1990. That's like what, $4,000 now? Suffice it to say I was not able to rhapsodize about it like Jerry Wayne here.

Note - I was almost able to spell rhapsodize without looking it up. Forgot the h. Surprised myself, since I don't think I have ever used that word before, at least not on this here blog.
