Strangely enough....I don't find Washington state (at least my side of the state) to be hot now.
Oh wait.....I remember why now.
I just came back from Providence, RI, where there is a thing that my town does not have called humidity...hehehe.

But in Providence, OMG, it was hot. Something that hadn't happened in several years happened there, everything started to stick to me...t-shirts, playing cards, my charcoal covered artwork *sigh*....There I spent loads of time taking naps with my face in front of my dinky fan, or hiding down in "Nick Ground", a level of a dorm at the college I was staying at (Rhode Island School of Design, aka RISD) that had a lounge with a big screen TV, had vending machines, and was underground so ...yah, it was a lot cooler down there. And the dining hall, aka "the Met", was the only other place aside from a dorm far far away, that had air conditioning, so that was a good place to sit and eat dinner...for like two hours. '.'
But here....eh...I just stay inside all day, or maybe if I actually get bothered by the heat enough, I'll walk a couple of miles/take the bus down to the local city pool and go swimming...dunno. I can just, really, sit in my house, even without the air conditioning or a fan, and it's perfectly fine to me. (my mother on the other hand...she's like "it's hot!!").
Soda Pop thingy:
People who grew up in Spokane and/or have lived here for ages call it "Pop". But, because I grew up in New England, where this word never was used to describe a carbonated drink, I refuse to call it as such, and it's just "Soda" to me. And <i>no</i>, nobody in my family calls it "tonic".....
Favorite sodas:
-Ginger Ale (Canada Dry and Schwepps is tolerable, but the good ones I've had are either TK *points below* or Red Rock.....Red RocK is GOOD.

-Any and all
Thomas Kemper sodas. (But especially Root Beer, Ginger Ale and Black Cherry)
-Code Red Mountain Dew
