Well, it's hit 82 downstairs. Given it was 103/106 (depends on who you ask) today, and lows haven't dropped below the mid 80s, with highs at or near a hundred for the past week, I'd say that isn't doing too bad, with no AC on this level, just the upstairs' cranked. It's currently 94 out, with 50% humidity
at 10 pm.
That said, I am soaking my feet in cold water. Today, while maybe not the hottest this week, was definitely the worst in terms of humidity and air quality. Uhg. I can't believe I'm looking forward to Monday, when the mid-80s will feel positively cool.
I win at today. I got to see Raq and d. at Sox's birthday party, and then we saw The Avengers. All the happy, right here.
After two weeks of heat and dry, it finally rained today and it was around 65 this afternoon. Such a relief. Hopefully it will make its way east.
I want to watch the Olympics, but hopefully without the "Only Americans are competing, and if they're not expected to win an event then no one wants to see those events, right?" bias. And definitely without all the "heartwarming" background stories. I don't have cable, so apparently I'm locked out of NBC's online coverage. Does anyone know how someone as iconoclastic and curmudgeonly as I can find Olympic coverage?
I went to a friend's house, in a sarong and tank, prepped for 105 and blazing, and we had not one but TWO surprise showers, about 15 minutes each, and it cooled down to about 85. BLISS.
We haven't had rain in weeks.
Plus I had a lot of cold prosecco with fresh raspberries, so I FEEL FINE.
No new posts since last night?
ION, I am testing my new iPad while sitting on my toilet.
At least he didn't say AIFG.
