August, one of the hottest months in the South

As usual the hottest months in the South is usually August, but this year seems to be beating all the odds. From recent days the temps happening all around the U.S. seems to be going up higher than ever before. In some states we are used to the hot and humid late summer, but for some it is not their usual. As we all try to combat the hot hot August, I remember the ways we played in the sprinkler as a child, or went to the river or a friends pool if we were lucky enough to fight off the heat. Workers her in the south are being asked to take longer breaks if they work outside or in the heat in a non air conditioned building. It is amazingly humid and hot like a stove when one steps outside. Thank goodness their is air condition, my daughter ask me the other day how did they handle this heat before a/c. I told her they learned to deal with it and do things in the cooler part of the day. It has been said that the U.S. states were more equal once a/c were implemented across the U.S. The south and states known for heat during summer and longer springs and summer months than most were than about to have more opportunity. As bad as it is for us now just imagine how bad it would be if we did not have any a/c. It's the small things in life that make a big difference and remembering the blessings we have in life.
