The past week things have really heated up in Atlanta. I work downtown in the city, and driving home one evening, I was traveling with the flow of traffic on about 70-80 mph. I looked at the temperature gauge on my car and it was 104°F!!!
This wasn’t just a random reading. The car was parked in a underground parking garage, and I was moving the car, not idle stuck in Atlanta traffic.
My two air conditioning units in my house are running non-stop. I can’t wait for the electric bill this month. Yesterday, my son and I went to the pool. While it was refreshing, the water was luke warm.
I don’t remember high temperatures like this on a consistent basis since moving here seven years ago. I guess I’m still a noob in this area…sounds like a perfect time to jump a perfectly good airplane and cool off up there?

A rally was held in Georgia in support of Fair Tax, a move to rid the United States of the annual cumbersome tax return due April 15th each year. Sen. Saxby Chambliss went on to point out it would take nearly 10 years of rallying to get such a change.
Whenever I look back at the end of a new year and go, wow that went fast. I will count down the years for this fair tax. I can be hopeful that our children one day will have a better government system in favor of the citizens who are honest workers.
