A Short Trip and Global What?

On Wednesday hubby & I traveled down the coast to Santa Barbara to visit a friend from a disabled forum I frequent. She was totally great and we had a fun time – except for the excessive heat and the incident where hubby did a face plant on a very busy street.

Ah yes the heat! My god man the heat!! Now, I lived in Fresno for a while so I know what heat is. 108 degrees, yeah I know what heat is. But when it’s in the 90’s on the coast you might as well be in Fresno in 108 degree heat. It’s the kind of heat where everything is still, no breeze, and it feels as if you’ve stuck your whole body in an oven. Just going outside a minute ago I was taken aback at how freaking hot it is — and it was only 9:30 in the morning.

Santa Barbara was even hotter then in Los Osos. Hubby was getting overheated on our trip and it kind of affects his balance, so when he hit a wacky bump on a curb-cut he just kind of fell to one side of his chair then all the way out, and smacked right on the pavement. Poor guy, got a small cut on his head and a skinned elbow. So, other than a bloody head and the debilitating heat our trip was fun.

Now, I ask you what the hell is going on? All together now … global what? … global what? … ah yes … global warming. Jesus, with all the floods happening in the Midwest and his unbearable heat all across California and other part of the US, you think we’re either going to see plagues of locusts next, or we’re actually going to have to realize we’re fucking up our planet royally.

Well, I’m going to go get some ice water and then go hug my Prius.
