Too Hot to Cook

Left work at 7:30pm and noticed the temperature was sitting at 82 degrees. We are in what's called a Santa Ana condition. Instead of our nice cooling ocean breezes, in the afternoon, we get hot desert winds that fan brushfires. When it's like this, there are absolutely no cooling breezes. So, you are left to cook in the hot, dry heat. It dries up your sinuses and makes it hard to breathe. It doesn't cool off at night, so the next morning, there is already a cushion of heat for the sun to build on. Hence, each day is hotter than the next. When it's like this, the house gets so hot, that you notice the temperature go up in a room, when someone turns on a light. The last thing you want to do is turn on the oven. I was wondering what to make for dinner. EVerything I could come up with, involved using the stove. Screw it! I went around the corner to Rally's and order up a couple of combo meals. There is no way I want to heat up this house anymore than I have to. And, you know it's hot outside, when one would rather have the windows rolled up with the A/C blasting, instead of running with the windows down. The outside air is too hot.
