Hot August


We have been hot in Northern Kentucky for about a month now. Temperatures have hovered in the mid to upper 90’s and have even crossed the scorching line of 100 degrees a few times. Humidity has been unbearable too, so that has only added to our “heat index” numbers.

In late August, hot is just plain uncomfortable. Hot makes you sweat. Hot makes you cranky. Hot is the topic on everyone’s lips, and brows. Being hot makes you crave cool things; ice water, iced tea, ice cream and ……for real relief, Long Island Iced Tea.

Hot is typically something that you want in the middle of January or perhaps on your enchilada. Everyone would like to look “hot” occasionally. And, if you are at a casino, you hope your luck to be “hot”.

The reality is that it is not January and I am not looking so “hot”. And, the only luck I want is for the weather to cool down to more seasonal temperatures.

In the meantime, I might be ordering that Long Island Iced Tea, just to cool down.
