Damn You, James Lileks!
Never, never rationalize the merciless mauradings of Heat Miser:
I like hot weather. I prefer that dry aching baking heat to the torpid sullen soup we have now, but remember: it snowed May First. If the pendulum has to swing the other way as far as it can to make amends, I understand.
You do? I don't. You're just encouraging him.
I've got a vestry meeting at church tonight which means slogging through rush hour traffic with no A/C and a heat index of better than 100. Take a wild guess at how spiritually-minded I'm going to be feeling by the time I get there. "To hell with all of them," about sums it up.
Dude. DC smells like a freaking garbage dump. It's TERRIBLE. Dupont Circle, West End - it's literally like a moist garbage dump. I choke every time I go outside.
Give me snow!

that's a BAD thing?
Days off work, man. DVD time. Love it.
Posted by: Bill from INDC at July 18, 2005 04:11 PMWe spent the weekend (Friday/Saturday) moving my crap into a storage pod. The first time I stepped outside on Friday morning I started sweating and I wasn't even carrying anything. We were all soaked at the end of both days - pretty nasty.
I drank a ton of liquid (water, soda, Country Time) all day and only had to pee once in that time. That's a lot of sweat.
