One of the great cliches uttered ad nauseam here in the desert is how we are living in a dry heat. This dry heat gives us our problems with allergies, it is causing my dry cough, guess why my eyes are dry? I wonder if people who live in rain forests hear their local pundits and fellow citizens bleat endlessly about the moist air, their moist and juicy cough, are their eyes extra wet or are they crying for living in such a place? Or what about the Inuit, is their spit and snot frozen, do people go to the pharmacy to buy de-icer for their eyes? Funny, I have noticed in California that everything leads to cool, the weatherman might talk about the high winds but will end talking about a cooling trend, their sponsors remind you to cool down by stopping for a nice cool drink, so Californians are cool, Arizonans are dry, Oregonians are all wet, people of the midwest ride lawnmowers – I don’t know what to make of that.
