Hot hot heat.
My friends at CNN just told me that it's 95 degrees out right now at 4:15 pm, with 49% humidity.

(Or, as some might say, it's 32 degrees out at 16:15, with 49% humidity.)

Those same people around here keep saying, "Wow, it's getting cooler ..." with this grin on their faces. You know what? Ninety-five degrees is still pretty darn hot. Let's wait and save the meteorological assessment until it's under ninety, 'kay Al Roker?

Yesterday we decided to walk to the Hard Rock for lunch. Last time we went we had quite the adventure. This time we went straight out the front gates of the university, and encountered this:



Yes, that's a two hundred yard long ditch running alongside the dirt and sand walkway that's also currently being steamrolled.

You know, as much as I like the food at Hard Rock, and it's nice to see other Americans, too, I think I'm going to wait a few more months to go there again. Hey, maybe it'll be cooler then, too ...
