Funny Thought (mostly alone or late at night)

"With the arrival of Hurricane Season tomorrow, residents are finding out what they can do to take measures....", They said on the radio this afternoon a sI drove home. Meanwhile, my wiper blades are on their last legs and the rain had kept steady flow throughout the day.

"Damn!", I thought, "Hurricane Season starts tomorrow? They may be one day off."

The good thing was it was okay outside as far as the tempature. I mean, it is the last day of May, going into June, and we get to enjoy these rain storms as they break up the humid - hot, muggy days of summer in Texas.

In 2000 to 2001, I drove around in my Chevy Blazer, leather seats, no AC, and a smell of flooded carpet, old smoke, ashes, and beer mildew stains floating past my nostrils as I tried to gasp for a breathe of air from the tight selfish air. I remeber I had no AC in my Blazer for two or three summers, and as far as I remember, they seemed to be the hottest fucking summers I ever experienced in my life, Man, was it painful. Maybe that was the hangovers? Point aside.

That old Blazer almost died out on me. Although it had died a few times before, I always managed to revive it back to life. Well, not I, the mechanics,...whatever. The day I found the place that would give me cash for it, (a measley $600), It made a loud pop under the car as I pulled within a mile of the place I was selling it at. I thought, screw it, I'm taking the $600 before I get nothing for it.

I ended up with a new truck, 3000 miles on it, and it's what I'm driving today. Since the days of the hot summers in the Blazer, days where I actually threw up and got sick a few times from heat exhaustion, the heat has never seemed to be as overwhelming and as much of a challenge. Days like today, I welcome rain. "I love a rainy night." So, as they said this on the news, I laughed at the irony of it. I thought, they're a day late - or two, as far as the rainy part. And I remembered the days of the Blazer and thought - ..... eh.
