OMG IT’S SO HOT OUT
Look at that Firefox extension above: Back-to-back days of a full thermometer with three heat lines. (It’s also 85 at 9 in the morning. I can only assume the humidity is roughly 1000 percent.) All the Philly Catholic schools are letting out at noon it’s so hot out, and Philadelphia’s heat line (215.765.9040) will be open ’til Tuesday at midnight. Um, so yes. It’s going to be hot out, as happens every summer or so. KYW reports: “People are being advised to drink plenty of water, avoid alcoholic beverages, stay out of the sun and spend as much time as possible in air-conditioned places and wear light, loose-fitting clothing.” In case you weren’t sure how to avoid the heat, you know. |

Those Roman Catholics are really stupid letting kids out at noon. That is the hottest part of the day!
I have a strategy for walking home and keeping cool. I leave the office and run across the street to West End for a little AC, then over to Staples, especially now that they don’t require a bag check, then to Liberty One escaping on 17th street, then take the short cut through the Crown Royal Hotel, across the street to the Mellon building then through the Bell Atlantic building, wade through Swann Fountain, stop by Whole Foods and then I’m home.
