"And there's little chance we'll drive over a bomb today."


It is hot here in Ohio right now. I get it. I understand there are a lot of people who do not like the heat. Honestly, I don't mind it. So maybe I am just bias about my stance on this. I could live in Arizona or even down south with the humid heat. Actually that is where I need to live somewhere that it is warm all year around. Even last night Audrey and I were outside playing in water when it was 102 out! I turned my air on yesterday only for the dog (because he is dramatic & yes, I am sure he is hot) but otherwise I could do without. But what I am so tired of hearing is people crying and complaining about the heat as they literally sit in the air conditioning. I mean if you work outside... construction, firefighters, etc. then absolutely it has to be miserable. But just every joe schmo walking into my work or clogging up my news feed on Facebook with constant complaints of the heat drive me nuts! Plus it is summer, and we do live in Ohio this is not the first time we have hit 100. This should not be a crazy shock to everyone. Chris says that its 110 degrees by 10am in Afghanistan everyday and gets to 120-130 degrees... everyday. Full gear from head to toe everyday. I have not heard him complain once. I mean I am sure he wants to but he doesn't. So when you complain about a few hot days as you walk from your air conditioned car to your air conditioned office and back to your air conditioned car to your air conditioned home think about our troops who do not have that luxury. Not that they want sympathy because I know they don't. They continue on everyday  in the heat so that all of you have right to complain here. Thank you Megan for sharing this photo! I think it sums it up pretty well. Sorry for the rant!
Happy Friday!
