Heat Illustration

After the interview we returned to the hotel room and did not venture out again for many hours. When we finally did it was to go to dinner close by. These photographs do a good job of showing what the air felt like...thanks to the fact that the camera's lens-after being comfortably cool in the hotel room for all of the day-repeatedly fogged up when it came into contact with the outside air. I mean repeatedly, like I'd wipe it clean and then seconds later it'd be all cloudy again. But, truly, if air had pigment or shape depending on the weather then this is a true illustration of what it felt like to walk around Savannah.

Yep that is just about what the deep south in the deep of summer deep in a hideous humid and horrible heatwave looks like.

Too bad the camera doesn't have smellarama to add the deep south etc odor of pulp mills. Known fondly in my childhood vacation forays to the SC coast as the "podie factories." That would be a long o there, pooooooohdie factories. And of course to really get the feel of the humidity heat thing going on, one has to place a hot washcloth (slightly smelling of onion for some reason) on one's face and then stand in a overly crowded elevator that won't seem to go.

Welcome to the south baby!
