Random Commuter Observation - It's Summertime and the Walking Is Hazy

It's roughly three quarters of a mile between my metro stop and my office. I walk it primarily for the exercise. (There actually is a much closer metro station, but using it would involve switching trains.)

It's something of a point of pride with me that I make the walk in all weathers and conditions. Nonetheless, we've reached that time of the year where I go out of my way to stay in the shade as much as possible, mumbling "We hates the Yellow Face" under my breath.

This is also the time of year where I start stopping at Starbucks regardless of the length of the line, as iced coffee becomes paramount to my ability to function during the day.
