Day 2: On Strike

It's hot today; so hot that I am on strike with the outdoors.  I have a twelve pack of Diet Coke, Shark Week begins on Discovery and some decent restaurants that deliver.  I am good.  My Mom and my brother stupidly ventured outside of the house and went to breakfast but lovingly brought me back some tater tots.
Dallas, this is what makes me wonder about you people.  Yes your tater tots are good and the queso flows as strong as the Rio Grande but why would you knowingly stay here with this never ending summer?  And not the never ending summer in the cool, good way like Malibu, the Ruby Coast or Greece but the never ending summer of triple digits with humidity that makes you want to go on strike!  The kind of heat that has you sweating by the time you walk to your car.  The worst part is getting into your car and sitting in enclosed heat until finally you can feel the air conditioning.  It's not normal!  I have always felt that summer was the most social season for people.  Personally I have always preferred the Fall/Winter seasons because I love the cold weather and my fall wardrobe is better; but most of my circle love, love, love's the summer.  Maybe it's the engraining from the school schedule and family vacations in the van. 
I just don't understand why there is permenant habitation here and I don't know anyone in Dallas that enjoy's this heat.  Maybe this is a bit of a mission for me to try and figure out why people love this city so much.  And this state!  This is the only state I have been to that you consistently see the state flag and the US flag hung side by side.  Now I just opened a whole can of worms. Da, da, daaaaaaa.
Big Kiss,
Alexandra
