Yes, it is in fact, hot enough for me. Actually, it's a little too hot for me. I prefer mid seventies and a nice breeze if you really aand truly want to know.
Why do people feel compelled to ask "Is it hot enough for you?" when the weather starts to turn and head for that season we like to call Summer? Ok, so I understand that they are most likely just being friendly and making conversation and that the question is probably rhetorical in most cases. But, why do we as a species feel the need to make inane comments about the weather? Maybe it's the realization that we aren't in control of it, that it really is just something that happens to us and we want to be in control. So the need to comment, question and generally talk about natural forces occurs as a means to justify our existence. Or maybe the weather is a aconspiracy set up by the government to distract our attentions from what's really going on. In that case, I think the Feds have found something that works. People asking if it's hot enough for ya are really the enemy!
Yes it's hot. So hot that grumpy moods begin to show and I find it difficult to sleep at night. So hot that I want to jump in the shower every chance I get. But guess what? This happens every year and about this time so it really isn't throwing me for a loop. I get it. It's hot. Now can we talk about something else?

i think i've decided it's because we have nothing else to say to one another. being in the elevator with a mild acquantance has nothing good going for it. i opt for the silence, but no matter what, the other person always goes for the weather.
and here's a hint i discovered last nite whilst "sleeping" (in quotes because it was too frickin' hot to actually sleep). i had a spray bottle of water by my bed and kept spraying myself. it's amazing. give it a try!
