Why I Don't Want to be Young
I suppose we all fantasize about being a teenager again. One reason not to be young again: My son's high school soccer team played at 4PM the other day in Phoenix. Game time temperature: 114F.

Soccer is optional, even for teenagers.
Not to mention all the debt young people are getting saddled with by the Oligarchy.
Yeah, but it's a dry heat.
Wait, why isn't that filed under, "Why I don't want to live in Phoenix"? As an ex-Phoenician myself, it always makes me feel better about 100 degree heat in Pasadena, CA.
Maybe next year they can play in the Phoenix Coyotes old arena.
i believe mr. jenkins said it best when he wrote of soccer: "how can you trust a sport where they don't fall on a loose ball?" still, it *is* fun to watch them faint/drop to the ground/scream in agony when an opposing player touches them. like some weird kind of acting-athletics hybrid.
So you noticed the players falling in agony when an opposing player touches them but you've never noticed a goalkeeper falling on a loose ball?
I'm pretty sure when I was a teenager my thought would have been that the only sane activity in 114 degree heat would the pursuit of air conditioning or a cold bath.
Back in my day, we played hockey outside at minus 30 and I don't recall anybody complainin'!
And you damn kids get off my lawn!

I wouldn't want to be a teen. I want to go back to my college years!
The real difference of course is that teenagers can take it. I remember running around in the summer in 90+ temperatures and 90+ humidity in the Midwest, and it just made me really thirsty.
Thank you for another great post.
I look forward to many more entries with high quality info.
