Hurst: Hello Carol! I hope you’re having a great summer so far.
Carol: I am! But while the seasonal heat is increasing in North Carolina, I didn’t expect to read an article about snow in Yellowstone on the first day of summer.
Hurst: Well, snow sounds nice right about now, because I can assure you it is not snowing in my unairconditioned apartment.
Carol: Yikes. Maybe celebrating an animal holiday will help you take your mind off the heat. Next month is Adopt a Rescued Rabbit Month, maybe you can bring a furry friend into your home. It could make it a hare cooler?
Hurst: Very bunny Carol, I see what you did there. So, if you were a wild animal, where would you want to live?
Carol: Uhhh…somewhere outside? Is there a specific answer you are looking for here, Hurst?
Hurst: Well, one piece this week named Costa Rica as a really good spot to live…you’ll have to check it out to see why. See you next week!
