It's at 10, flea. I figure I'll wait and see, and give him a call in the cab.

It's supposed to be 100 here today, too. After this interview is done and I pop by the Apple Store, I'm planning to drag myself home and stay in the central air the rest of the day.

As much as I'm whining, I'm reminded that the idea of unrelenting heat just makes me tired. Cold? Makes me want to cry. I get cranky either way if I can't at least get a little relief, but heat provokes a pro-active rage, which is by far more entertaining. Cold I just have a pity party. I am happier murderous.

I am so tired when it gets this hot. I don't sleep well, so I am just exhausted. On the flip side, I also tend to not eat very much, so that's good.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Today's forecast highs for both National and Dulles are higher than the current records.

I'd rather live in Minnesota in winter; you can always put more clothes on.

This is so me, except I'd be moving back to Maine. I figure it's one BIG reason I've never lived outside of New England (Pacific Northwest being the other option, but have never even visited to date).

I think I need to live where there's an ocean somewhere nearby. I don't think any of the Great Lakes would quite be enough.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yes. My philosophy on heat is that you can only get so naked.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

My philosophy on heat is that you can only get so naked.

This. Ideally, my solution would be to move NYC up the coast closer to Maine or NH. As it is, I'll grumpily deal with the summers.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I don't think any of the Great Lakes would quite be enough.

Having lived in coastal states all my life, I would have thought that would be true, but my times visiting Chicago gave me a much different feeling -- that lake is HYUUUUUUGE, and it isn't even the largest of them.

My philosophy on cold is that no amount of clothing will mitigate certain factors, such as a cold nose, a cold face, stupid wind, and the fact that it's fucking cold.

I live in the South for a reason.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I'm with Dana. Except for the geography. In the summer there's long days and SUNSHINE! But it's a personal thing; I'm way more uncomfortable at 10 degrees Fahrenheit than 110 degrees.
