Opinion | It’s too hot!
COLUMBIA, South Carolina — As I cruised west on I-20 toward the state’s capital city Wednesday, my car’s thermostat measured the outside temperature at 103 degrees — and this was without factoring in the heat index, which would have raised it to about 109.
The last time I was this hot was four years ago, when my son and I drove across the Mojave Desert in July en route to his new home in California. At a rest stop midway, I spotted a proud flowering shrub, walked over and congratulated it.
