the rules of summer

Okay, it's official now. I hereby declare that summer has begun in Florida. We've had a string of days with 90+ degree highs and I think at this point any "cold front" would simply mean temps dropping to like a high of 80 something, so for all intents and purposes, it's summer. This means I will refer to Matt Summer Operating Procedures and that basically entails the following...

  1. Thou shall embrace air conditioning wherever possible and take shelter in thy a/c
  2. If thou should find thyself outside, thou shalt seek shade and refer back to procedure number 1
  3. Thou shall limit all outdoor activity to before 11am and after 7pm
  4. Thou shall blast air conditioning to ensure survival of thyself
  5. Thou shall roll thy sleeves up to thy shoulders to create "dude sleeves"
  6. Thou shall assume the "Superman position" when standing outside: legs spread apart, hands on hips and arms out to ensure the least possible contact between thy skin
  7. Thou shall carry a small towel around to wipe away sweat when it develops in a futile attempt to control sweating
  8. When all else fails, refer to procedure number 1
