As Captain Beefheart once said, "It's so hot! Looks like you have three beaks crow". And indeed this morning as we were walking Patrick down to day care we saw a crow, sitting in a tree , with it's mouth open. Was it panting? Do birds pant in the heat like dogs? Or do they heat in their pants like dogs?
It was Hot today! I mean, like, Hot!
At the local pizza place people were huddled around the oven trying to cool down! That's how it was today.
And humid!
It was so humid today my finger nails were sweating; the leather of my boots was sweating; rivers of sweat ran down the streets...
It could be worse I suppose... we could be sweating in Bagdad.
Are those sunglasses the US soldier wear army issue?
Hopefully tomorrow it will be a little cooler. If this goes on any longer we'll have to think about buying air conditioning - there's only so much a small white towell and a free fan from Mini Stop can do.
