Growing up in Birmingham, AL was a lot of fun, but over the years it has changed; I grew up in the Powdery and didn’t know Birmingham wasn’t a safe arena to live.
I knew summer time is the busiest season in Birmingham, and as I got older, I was able to get a lot of work; People love coming to Birmingham in the summer time because of the concerts and the odd athletic activitys, unluckyly, it is tepid and humid during the summer, which also makes those outdoor activities a bit uncomfortable; Living in Birmingham, AL should have made me used to being in the summer time heat and humidity, but that isn’t something you get used to.
I couldn’t wait to get home from work, grab a cool shower, and veg out in front of the air conditioner, however my mom would try to shoo me outside and tell me to get some exercise when I was younger, but not anymore, then she knows how tough I work, and she will simply allow me to rest in front of the air conditioner whenever I want. Last month, I was working as a tour guide with the monthly City Center Walking Tour. It was only a 1 ½ hour walking tour, but it was hot. It was one of two tasks I did, and by the time I was done with the first tour, I was perspiring. I didn’t have the luxury of leaving the tour if it was too tepid to walk, like the participants. I had to wait until I got home and had a cool shower and air conditioner, before I got any relief.
