12. Funny thing about humidity. . .

. . . Except for areas where there just isn't any--like, at all-- everybody always declares that the humidity where they are is the worst.

I grew up here in the Baltimore region, where it's pretty standard. I went to college in the Philly region as an older student and other students from New England declared the humidity there to be awful. To me it seemed on par with Baltimore.

Right now, I live on the river, (the back yard ends where the river begins) and it has certainly not been a comfortable summer.

I worry about the summer heat, of course. The apartment rents are affordable to my budget, but I fear what could happen with my utility bills. I might need to hang out at my friends' house or the local library if it comes to that. They do have a daily check in service for seniors through some county program. It's called "RU Okay?" and someone from some department or agency calls every day to basically ask that question.

Oh, in regards to the humidity, I guess that I would have to deal with seriously frizzy hair about three months of the year. . . It's not quite as bad as the goddess Demeter searching for her daughter, Persephone for three months of the year.
