Yeah. “Beautiful.” Sure.
The temperature has been in the High ’90s this week. This morning on the elevator ride up, Mr. Friendly Stranger wanted to talk to me, and he said, “It’s supposed to be a beautiful day, just like yesterday.”
So, one of the following has to be true. Either
a) I am at least ten degrees more sensitive to heat than everybody around me, because miserable weather starts at around 82°, or
b) everybody who lives in Dallas willingly is at least a little bit stupid.
Of course, the elevator is no place to have a disagreement with someone, especially someone who is just trying to be friendly, so I smiled and answered, “Let’s hope so.”
(I should say, since I didn’t before, that I am very proud of Texas for having a Spring that lasted through all of April. That was fantastic.)

I’m gonna go with “a.” After living in Texas for about 20 years, I find myself more comfortable in hot weather (read: mid-80’s). 90 degrees, however, is not a “beautiful” temperature. Some people are real masochists, you know? ;)
