girl at large

i was warned that it gets mighty hot around here in the summertime, but i brushed it off..no biggie..i'm used to the tropics of Savannah (up to high 90's, 100% humidity, overnight lows in the 70's)! i made one major miscalculation…air conditioning. it doesn't exist here.
Ruby is a little black puddle on the tile floor from noon to three. i see very clearly now why everyone closes up shop and heads home for siesta mid-day.
