Stopping at a hotel

Have you ever experienced a day so hot, that you just couldn’t take any more? There’s only two days I could think of that I could really describe as being overbearing.

Once, when I was a kid and I was standing in a line with the other kids after PE, and it was probably 90 or so degrees outside, and we had all been running so I was sweating profusely.

The PE coach was about to let us in the school building, when some kids in front of me started acting up, so the PE coach became mad and wasn’t going to let us in until the kids stopped acting up. It took the kids forever to stop, and here I was dying from being overheated. Even though I was probably only stuck in that line for 10 minutes, I was already imagining walking into the school building and feeling a cooling breeze embrace me. Oh how that wonderful blast of A/C unit flowed over me, and drove the heat away. Eventually the kids stopped acting up and the PE coach opened the door to A/C system freedom. The other time was when I was on a road trip, and my air conditioning in my car had stopped working. I had already driven 3 hours, with the sun blinding me and simultaneously burning me at the same time, even though I badly wanted a break I continued on. It wasn’t until I started actually feeling nauseous from the heat that I decided to pull over at a hotel. Thankfully, the hotel had a wonderful HVAC unit, and I stayed there and enjoyed the HVAC. I decided early in the morning I would leave, before the sun had a chance to come out.
