The weather, she is brutal.
Posted by binky at August 1, 2006 06:17 PM | TrackBack | Posted to Random Thoughtsit's just too bad there's no way to bottle all the heat in my house to open in, say, december. notwithstanding that my flat, traffic-clogged four-mile bike rides home from work, these days, are sweatier than half the 50-mile rides i've done in the past, i don't even see the point of showering if there's not a damned good reason. i'm sweating all night regardless. why o why didn't i move to san francisco.
Posted by: moon at August 1, 2006 08:59 PM | PERMALINKBecause of the millions of people who had that idea already?
I don't even want a/c, I just want to get all the hot air out of my house. It's nearing midnight, and it's 82 outside, but 87 inside. A whole house fan... mmmm....
Posted by: binky at August 1, 2006 11:06 PM | PERMALINKGonna be 102 in Boston today, they're saying. Happily, it'll be in the 80s tomorrow and 70s on Friday, but still. Thank all gods for air conditioning.
Posted by: jacflash at August 2, 2006 09:30 AM | PERMALINKYeah, I've been taking a little shit from some unnamed party about how since I grew up in the subtropics and lived in the tropics I shouldn't be complaining about the heat. The missing factor is that near the ocean, generally one gets both a steady breeze and afternoon rains.
Posted by: binky at August 2, 2006 09:37 AM | PERMALINKThe unnamed party and I grew up in a place where the breeze was a regular feature, but these days I'm just far enough inland that it's pretty damn still. And any afternoon rains here mostly serve to encourage the mosquitos.
I am so ready for September.
Posted by: jacflash at August 2, 2006 09:54 AM | PERMALINKi don't even want to know what it was in my house last night; what i do know is that when a friend stopped by i was surprised to find that my usually tolerable first floor (which i totally underuse) was also hot enough to make sweating a given.
95 today in p'burgh; glad i'm not in boston, though there one can find the water.
outdoor wedding on saturday -- but it's late in the day and in the shade.
Posted by: moon at August 2, 2006 09:56 AM | PERMALINKAn outdoor wedding in August? That's cruel.
Posted by: Armand at August 2, 2006 10:54 AM | PERMALINKlast year there was one in the SUN. zero shade. for anyone. 90+ degrees. it's the only time in my life that i've been forced, while dressed well, to dab at every inch of exposed skin with a bandanna. just awful.
