Climate change, anyone?

June was the hottest month on record.  July is on pace to be the hottest month yet again.

This week it has, with the heat index, seemed like 110 degrees outside.  My bedroom has become my living cocoon in the house because it has a window air-conditioning unit..  Using the rest of the house, I sit at the dining room table as much as possible, next to a cooling fan.

To go outside is to instantly break out in a sweat.  I took a 3-mile walk the other day on the Mt. Vernon Trail instead of running that afternoon.

I go out with friends for lunch in restaurants which, obviously, have air-conditioning.  Pastrami sandwiches, chili, mussels, it's all good.
