I hate to keep resorting to bitching about the weather, but it’s just too friggin’ hot here. I know it’s probably hotter elsewhere, but around these parts we like things a helluva lot cooler. There’s high pressure off the Carolina coast teaming up with a low pressure over the Dakotas to act as a pump. According to a weather geek down at Cornell, we’re breathing air up here today that was over the Gulf of Mexico just two days ago – hot, humid, nasty goddamn air.

Up until last Wednesday, we were getting nice cool weather from our friends in Canada. Now we’re getting record heat and humidity, and it sucks. Even the dogs feel like shit. It’s been in the 90’s since Friday, and it’s supposed to be 95 today and in the nineties Tuesday, too. Worse, it isn’t supposed to get below 70 until we get hit by a cold front (no doubt ushered in by thunderstorms that will scare the hell out of the dog).

Oh well, at least there’s a/c at work (at least, it better be working, or I’m outta there).
