Memoirs: Dry Heat vs Humidity

Writing in 100% humidity–it’s like swimming one's pen. Totally fun, mind you. It glides well, which is a good thing because all one's muscles have turned to some sort of gelled putty material due to said humidity. Sharp movements are near impossible. It’s like sword fighting underwater. I’m not sure how humans have adapted so well to this kind of hell, because it does not seem to bother most of them? I wonder how they don’t just melt into a pool of mushy goo, because one comes so close to doing so in this weather, one might as well just go on and finish it up.

I can’t imagine living in a place (on purpose) that does this to one’s body.

Arizona is different. They say it’s a dry heat. I like it. I don't understand what causes everyone to go on and on about it.

It is technically so hot there that one truly can fry an egg on the sidewalk. I am not sure who came up with this metaphor, or what compelled them to do so. Maybe his or her oven broke. If one ponders the current trends of tiny houses, sustainability, energy conservation, and living off the grid, Arizona is actually quite practical, as these humans have demonstrated in the below video. (In fact, one also saves money by not needing a BBQ grill, propane, or charcoal, and you avoid depleting the ozone layer by simply not using any sort of fire at all.)

Plus, I rather enjoy the idea of having a yellow Ferrari which smells of freshly baked cookies!

Oh, no, the wind does not actually cool it off any. It has been documented also that this particular state very well may be the source of religion here on this planet. Oft attributed to Satan, this heat calls for a deep spirituality:

And if one happens upon a large asphalt parking lot in Arizona, one definitely feels as if one is actually in an industrial strength convection oven. This human documented the feeling here:

And one can most assuredly get third degree burns on one's hands trying to open a car door, or any door, on 111℉ days...

...but it doesn’t feel like one is going to become one with one's sweat like in the humidity-ravaged midwest.

Sweat. Really? What an odd and embarrassing evolutionary excuse for regulating body temperature.

If you need more information on sweat and humidity, simply read this:

Humidity: Making Dry Heat Look Like Heaven

(I retitled it for more accurate documentation purposes)

Actually, one does not, for all practical purposes, sweat in Arizona in the summer...well maybe one does, but it is just so dry that it evaporates before one realizes one did it.
