It was to nearby bucolic Sikes Lake I ventured on this first Tuesday of August to do some nature communing in the natural sauna steam bath.
The temperature was only 95 degrees, with the humidity making those 95 degrees really feel like 103 degrees.
I was what is known as a sweaty mess by the time I made it back to the air-conditioned comfort of my motorized motion device.
Looking at that peaceful looking Sikes Lake photo documentation, you see above, it does not look like it is blisteringly HOT.
It looks refreshingly cool.
As is so often the case, looks can be deceiving.
Due to the day after day after day after day of high temperatures and no rain, the humidity has gotten less humid, and the biting bug population seems to have diminished, at least so it seems since I am no longer suffering multiple bug bites every time I enter the outer world.
If my math is correct, and it sometimes is, today we would be celebrating my mom and dad's 73rd Wedding Anniversary, if mom and dad were still able to celebrate such.
The last time I went to one of my mom and dad's Wedding Anniversary parties, it was on Saturday, August 11, 2001. Mom and dad's actual anniversary date is August 6, the same date in 1945 that a big, bad bomb was exploded over Hiroshima, Japan.
