I have spent so much time talking about the heat and NOW that the heat wave is OVER and today was just as pleasant as yesterday, I have to bring up the HEAT one more time. Today is Saturday and the sun was warm and the breeze light. A perfect summer day! Not so last week.
Last Saturday was brutally hot, sticky hot and just hot hot! Walking, moving at all was painful We had tickets to see Smokey Robinson in the Great Auditorium which is NOT air-conditioned. It was extremely uncomfortable; couldn’t figure out what to wear that would not stick to me – how silly, everything stuck to me including me to me. I also forgot my fan and for the first time that I can remember, instead of giving the fans away, they were selling them!! The fans cost a dollar each but well worth every penny. The entire audience was in motion. Fans were waving all over – it was sea of sweaty people waving hot air over themselves and sweating from the energy expended to wave the fan.
Smokey Robinson was superb and how he performed in a suit, I’ll never know. We were like limp rags and he was jumping around the stage. The only two items allowed in the auditorium during a concert are fans and WATER ! The fans cost a dollar, the water cost a dollar and I think the Camp Meeting Association made more money from the sale of those two commodities than they did from the ticket sales!!!
See what I mean….
