July in Alabama = hotter 'n H - E- Double hockey sticks!
The humidity is so thick you can cut it with a knife!
You wouldn't think that it would be a surprise to us natives, but every day we wipe brows and bitch about the heat and humidity. We remark about how THIS is nothing compared to what August will bring. Lawd have mercy!!! We just can't get cool enough around here!
Alabama is one of the few states that run through the full spectrum of Four full seasons before lunch.... and again before supper time. I guess it's a perk, along with lightnin' bug, fields of cotton, grass greener than green, sweet tea, fried cornbread, and Piggy Wiggly! Southern living is an acquired taste and certainly not a one-size-fits - all kind of lifestyle.
It's an awesome experience to be from the South, where everyone is (mostly) friendly and generous to a fault. We do wear shoes, have higher educations and know when to sharpen or hide our southern drawl to fit the situation. We can bless your heart and cut you to shreds with our wit with a smile on our face.....and an outsider would never even catch it.
So, Southern 101......
Peace
