Hawaii

Ok, I have many memories of Sacred Hearts Academy, stewing in sweat wearing my wool school uniform every August/September when the Kona winds came in and stopped the trades dead in the air, but...

The nuns who who taught me were covered every inch, from head to toe in wool, so who was I to complain? The Catholics would call that penance, and God knows, I was overflowing in sin. It was the least I could do!

When I stepped out of the plane at Phoenix airport for my first day at AZ State U and thought, "This isn't so bad!" It was 108 degrees, and I had missed a 1970s record-breaking 117 degrees a few weeks earlier. I wasn't saying "This isn't so bad." the following summer, enrolled in summer school and our AC broke for over a week!

Point is...c'mon folks! We have a planet to save. And the sweltering heat only lasts 2-3 months max! Those toxic AC chemicals have nowhere to go but into the air, polluting the beautiful skies of Hawaii Nei! Do it for Sister Rose Kathleen in her 20+ lb wool habit back then. Or do it for penance! Don't know about you guys, but I've been doing a lot more sinning now than I did back then as a school girl of 17! WHAT? You too? Well then, problem solved! Glad I could help!
