Brian-

Turns out I was supervising another environmental firm that did something incredibly stupid and contaminated property they were supposed to be investigating. The owner, an LA bank, hated them and loved me. They had to commute from Irvine every day and I got to stay in a Holiday Inn that was part of the property for free. Stepping into that AC room and popping a cold one at the end of each day was absolute heaven.

I used to work outside for a living and I remember SO vividly the feeling of 10 hours in 90F/90%humidity then walking in to the AC pulling all my clothes off and snapping the cap off a cold brew.


AAAAAAAHHHHHH! Heaven.

Damn that's hot!

I used to buck hay during harvest (summer time). Some days it was three digets....then you sweat and the loose hay sticks to you, even under your clothes. That really really sucked.
