Hot, Hot Weather
Whew ! This week was really one excessively hot week for us here in the East Bay in California. The temperature rose to about 100 degrees and my, oh my, that is really hot huh?
No idea how hot it is here ? When it’s 100 degrees outside? Try turning on your hair-dyer to medium setting and let it blow on your skin, and whoa, that is how it is here, at least that’s how it feels for me. I think the heat here, if it’s really at its peak, is worst than the heat in the Philippines. Before, I used to think that summer in the Philippines was the worst thing ever but not when I came here. It is truly hot that when you go outside, you’d run back inside again, back into the shelter of your house.
The weather right now is so different and there’s hardly any breeze blowing at all, but if ever there was any, it feels so hot too. When the sun’s rays touches your skin, it’s like scorchingly hot, you’d feel toasted in minutes so I don’t know how those bikers who joined the ” Spare the Air Day ” campaign took in Mr. Sun’s angry rays.
Well anyway, here are some pictures I took inside our car on our way to Vallejo, California. The hills, which were so green before are now all dried up. It is no wonder why grass fires are so easily started here.
