when it gets hot

When it gets hot in Phoenix we go into full retreat. Air conditioned cars take us to air conditioned offices. We try to park in the shade and determine the best vector into the air conditioned space awaiting. Sidewalks have no purpose to this effort, the grass is dormant anyway, the trees are always the same, always in bloom.
But when you get used to it, you just slow down and take a considered approach. One step at a time. Car, pavement, door, ultimately nirvana. You keep your clothes light and water at hand. You enjoy the heat. It refreshes you. And you go on. Until you go outside again. And do it all over again.
