The heat is on Chillicothe. And no, I am not talking about the 1984 Glenn Frey song from Beverly Hills Cop that I hope sticks in your mind all day because I mentioned it. I mean it is supposed to be hot in July, right? This may be the most normal month we have had all year but I see your social media posts.
I see you. You, my friends, are complaining about the heat, and to that I say stop it. You must stop. Mother Nature finally got her act together and you are going to complain? Do not anger her. We have seen what she can do. Remember a couple of months ago when it rained every day? I don’t want to see snow in July or live through three season changes in 11 hours in one day. That is exhausting. I don’t want to live a life of wearing a hoodie in the morning, stripping down to a tank top in the afternoon, and then putting the hoodie back on two hours later. That is not our best life. You can live your best life by checking out some of these cool (see what I did there) events coming up in our area.
