hot!

guys and gals, it is hot here in tejas! like, the kind of hot where you walk outside and immediately think, "oh, i bet it's over a hundred right now." and then you check and the temp says 103, and you think, "yep, that's what i thought."

it seems kind of weird that you can tell that specific threshold has been crossed. around these parts, if you go outside and feel like, "it's kind of hot out here," that could be anywhere between 85 (if it's super humid) and 95. if you think, "dang, it's really hot out here," odds are pretty good its between 95 and 99. but you get up over a hundred and you go outside and your immediate response is, "oh, yeah. this is what it means for it to be really, really hot."

i asked msg about this and he said, "i don't know. maybe it has something to do with the average human body temperature being close to a hundred, and if it's over a hundred outside, your skin immediately recognizes that it's not going to be able to radiate any of that core heat away."

which would make sense for him. but you know, i haven't got a core body temperature.
