'Twas hot yesterday, 'twill be really hot today. Thank god for an electric fan, and for a regional climate where the heat index is always a few degrees lower than the actual temperature in the daytime, and for the thirty-five degree difference between nighttime and daytime temperatures. I remember a sincere gentlewoman in Georgia, bo'n and bred, who once had made a trip as far west as Colorado in the summer. I asked her what she thought of the concept of heat without humidity, and she said she had found it strange and unpleasant and that it made her thirsty. She also said, "Why you know if you take a slice of bread and leave it on the table, in just twenty minutes you'll find it as dry as toast!"
