It was ridiculously warm for the end of September, and I couldn't sleep at night as it stayed in the nineties until midnight. I avoided summer in Davis until after I graduated, when I decided to finish out my lease and try to find a job instead of moving back home. That's when it got really hot. Triple digits more days than not. I spent most of the summer in my air-conditioned apartment, blinds shut, watching movies in my darkened living room instead of sending out resumes. <BR/><BR/>The next summer wasn't much better, but at least I worked in an air conditioned building and didn't have to venture outside until the worst of the heat was gone. <BR/><BR/>The third summer, it wasn't so bad at all. The triple digit days were still tough, but when it was in the nineties it wasn't as bad; I was finally getting used to summers in Davis. My brother-in-law came up to visit for a day; his girlfriend bought him a sky-diving excursion as a gift, and the plane took off from the Yolo County airport. My husband and I looked at each other and said "They picked a great day to come visit. It's only in the upper eighties, what great weather!" But the first words out of their mouths were "It's so hot!" We laughed. <BR/><BR/>Then we moved to southern California. If I were to visit Davis this summer, I don't think I'd be able to handle the heat.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15973357624283772776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548791728880135916.post-88571178650647660412008-11-03T13:18:00.000-08:002008-11-03T13:18:00.000-08:00you should node that!!also, i did not know you had...you should node that!!<BR/><BR/>also, i did not know you had a spot of blog! i must Subscribe to your Feed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
