Like Ernie (see Hot Enough For You?), many people will have a hard time with this warm weather. Even between the air  conditioned car and the air conditioned office can seem like miles of hot, steamy hell. For those of us who have to work outside, it can be a real challenge. And then there’s the sleepless, sweaty night. No, not that time you took those siamese twins home. I mean sultry, stagnant in your face dead air heat.
What I like to do is to imagine that the sun and the heat are my friend. I don’t want to fight my friend, I want to get along. Without the sun, there would be no solar system, no plants, no warmth, no life.
Yes, the sun is my friend. It gives me life. It gives me a reason to apply sunscreen so I don’t get radiation burns. It gives me fruit and vegetables. It gives me solar flares which cause my cell phone to drop calls. It gives me sunsets and sunrises. It gives me sweat and suffering.
Okay, so maybe the sun is like one of those friends you have in school that likes to give you a wedgie now and then, or dunk your head in the toilet bowl. But he’s always there for you! He might trip you in the hallway, but he’s got your back if you get in trouble. So try to appreciate the sun . The world would be a dark place without it.
