weather or not there's whether

Welcome to August.

It's hot.

The air feels like the inside of a pressure cooker, even at 7:30 this morning.

It's going to get hotter.


I think I'm handling this remarkably well, actually. I wake up, drink a bottle of water, take aspirin, turn the fans up to high, and go back to bed go to work. I am not happy about any of this, but so far that unhappiness has not led to bloodshed, either mine or anyone who asks how I'm enjoying the weather.

If it doesn't break by Thursday, as predicted? All bets are off.


ETA: went outside to get lunch, and while it's bad, it's not quite 'orrible...yet. But this is in a neighborhood with relatively low-set buildings and mature shade trees. I feel utmost sympathy for those of you trapped in concrete cities...

Psssst.

It's mt_yvr's birthday today. Who's got the cake? Who's got the candles? Who's got the birthday paddle?

Holy Mother of (someone else's) God

Yeah. Thunderstorm. Sort of like saying Hiroshima was a bomb blast.

Wow. Also, wow.

I don't think it's any cooler outside, but my headache's gone.

ETA: sitting on my (covered) porch, letting the cold rain come down around us, listening to the thunder rumble overhead. You can almost hear the people around town lifting their heads and breathing in the ozone....


(and yes, I'm working off battery power...)
