Getting Hot in Here!!!

Damn, it’s hot.

I got a fan whirring away about ten inches from my face, but still feels like a furnace. And it’s not even daytime!!

It wasn’t always like this. We used to be called “The Land of the Eternal Spring”, or something like that. The reason being, it was cool in here. You couldn’t go outside without a sweater. Not to chilly, not too hot. Lovely climate, really.
But that was before the good ol’ Kzanderallian people started choppin’ down all the trees and pouring cement all over the place. It wasn’t long afterwards that the weather patterns started get all screwed up. The rain season got shorter and shorter and the summer got longer and hotter.

Nowdays, Kzanderallia is a torrid town.

Doing anything in this heat is tortuous. Walking, sleeping, eating, breathing... Anything.
Air conditioning is a total lifesaver. But not everyone has that.

I feel for the sorry souls that have to venture into traffic with those oven-like vehicles they have. Imagine: you’re under a blazing, charring sun, sitting inside a hunk of metal that’s trapping all the heat. You’re covered in sticky, heavy sweat. Your butt sticks to the upholstery.  The cars aren’t moving an inch. And then, a guy starts honking away like a jackass.

Under such circumstances, road rage is more than understandable.
