Man, bro, it's like an oven on earth! 43 people dropped like flies on Monday, and 30 of them ended up straight in the hospital, according to DSU. And me with my 2008 BMW, I looked at the thermometer and said: 'Mioara, bring a fan 'cause I'm melting!' But that's our country, we're frying alive.
Out of all the cases, 13 were saved by the SMURD boys, and 30 went by ambulance. And what do you think? One person died on the spot. Fainting, headaches, feeling like crap - that's what happens when it's 42 degrees in the shade and you're standing in line for bread. I said I wouldn't leave the house, but Mioara sent me for cigarettes. Lucky I found a gas station with AC.
The interventions stretched from 8 AM to 9 PM, all across the country. Authorities tell us to stay in the shade and drink water. Man, but I've got bills to pay! Brian wants sneakers worth 800 lei, Ioana asks me for an iPhone - what do I do, go to work or stay home with a wet towel on my head?
That's our life: summer we fry, winter we freeze, and we still pay. Now Mioara says to take the AC out of the installment plan, but until then, I'm going to cool off at Fane's terrace, 'cause at least there's a cold beer and a game on TV. You stay sharp and don't forget: after the heat wave, comes the electricity bill!
