Weather Adaptation
I've heard that the human body is amazing with adapting to the weather you are enduring. This has been clearly proven because I lived in the Midwest in the muggy miserable conditions for years. However, a year in Colorado living 6000 miles above sea level where there is no humidity and not even that many bugs has taught me that when life improves, it's really hard to adapt back to something less desirable. I drove 400 miles east out of Colorado and stepped out the car for a rest stop and nearly wilted on the spot. As a frantically look around for an oxygen mask and tank, I realise just how much I had forgotten what it was like to breath in air that was practically liquid. Since Kansas is probably one of my least favourite states, I rush onward to St. Louis. Guess what peeps. It is WORSE! The gallant plans of taking Elle to each zoo of each city has been officially burned to a crisp. It is my humble opinion that she is suddenly much more into the air conditioned aquariums and art musuems.
...and for the next while, my life will focus on minimal movement outside, treating each exposure to the insane weather with a quick-as-possible stepping stone to an air conditioned facility.
Meanwhile, somebody PLEASE tell me how the HELL I actually taught Tae Kwon Do in this crap in an aluminum and un-airconditioned building for multiple years. I'm not even sure how we maintained such a great body of students in these conditions, let alone survived it myself!
