Rain or shine

It felt like I was in Panama today. When I flew into Howard Air Force Base in January of
1972 the sun was high in the sky with white fluffy clouds as big as Rhode Island. 
I deplaned down steps onto the tarmac and walked toward the terminal. 
"Whoa," I though, this jet wash is brutal. But it was like that the fourteen months I was there.
At some point I got used to it, and I found that I missed the heat when I got back home to Alabama. It took some time to adjust to milder temps. 
This afternoon as I walked down to dump a quart of corn for the deer, I looked into the blue sky it looked as if it couldn't make up its mind whether it wanted to rain our shine.

  4. Wow, you MISSED the heat of Panama? After my hubby spent a year in Vietnam, it took him a long time to acclimate to cooler temperatures, but he sure never missed the unbearable heat and humidity.
