wearing a rage against the machine t-shirt and ordering a snackwrap

the elderly, women who are pregnant, and children are advised to stay in-doors. if you go outside limit your physical activity and be sure to drink plenty of liquids.

gentlemen, the forecast for seattle tomorrow is 87 and, gasp, 95 on monday. we have had more snowdays then days above 85 degrees. as few seattleites have air-conditioner, expect a full-throated panic as the mercury rises here on the puget sound.

for the wealthy, the next few days will be a rare chance to put your expensive boat to use. the puget sound, lake union, and lake washington are littered with yachts, speed, and sail boats, making rush hour dc traffic seem orderly. for the homeless, the next few nights will be ideal for sleeping under freeway overpasses, in the park, and outside my apartment building. no i don't have any change.

the way the temperature varies throughout the day is pretty wild too. we had a high of 83 yesterday, but it was about 65 up until half past noon. it got dramatically warmer in the ensuing hours and then cooled down quickly about an hour before the sun set (we are far north and it doesn't get dark until 10 here). crazy, i know.

the oncoming heatwave reminded me of this article that i read in the nyt:

i imagine sim simma is the only person excited about the prospect of no ac. i can only imagine the chaos in the rambo mansion if they went even an hour without ac.

wish me well as i attempt to survive a few days of 90 degree weather. i look forward to not wearing any deodorant the next week.
