Heat

Here in the Inland Empire, we get something I treasure -- dry heat.

Dry heat is wonderful. You can stand outside for a minute with your arms outstreched, soaking it in.* Then you can walk over and rest in the shade, preferably with a nice tall glass of iced water. Then, when the sun goes down, you can feel the cool night breezes.

(*Kids: I recommend doing this in short spurts, preferably with long-sleeved T-shirts and sunblock.)
