If you were 73.5 you might be in Sonic Youth.

My coworker says I, my, mine and me more than anyone I have ever met. (I realize I just said I and my.) It's gotten to a frightening point. She literally turns any statement thrown at her into a personal experience story. It's nearly clinical.

Not having an AC in this heat.

What counts as "hot" in Malmö? 20 C?

[Martin]

Admittedly I'm a big pussy when it comes to heat, and would be happy if the temperature never rose above 25 C, I really can't stand it. I can't do anything, I can't think, I definitely can't write for shit. But we've had up around 28-30 C this weekend, and quite humid too*, so I feel my complaint is legitimate. And to make matters worse, the windows in the old brownstone-ish building I'm living in face S/SW, so from around lunch til about ten o'clock at night it's almost impossible to stay in the apartment because of the sun. Around this time of night (almost 2 am) it's quite nice.

All very interesting I'm sure.


*) When I had friends from LA visiting last summer they claimed the humidity made 'our' heat unbearable compared to sunny California.

I'm just being a little jerky because this is the third summer in a row I'm in DC, and it doesn't get easier.  My dog, a random mix of northern breeds, stopped to lie in the shade during his 8 am walk.

I was in semi-northern Europe recently and it amazes me how far north you guys are.  The sun doesn't go down until like 11 at night.  (23 h).

I'd like to apologize for my consistent use of European-style measures on 4 July.

[Martin]

I would not be able to stand that kind of heat.

I grew up in DC and I can corroborate: the humidity is completely vile there. It's bad in NYC too but someone in DC will always tell you when the topic comes up ... DC was built on swampland.

The only thing I really miss about living on the West coast (Seattle, Portland and Bay Area) was no humidity - the weather was glorious, particularly in the Pacific Northwest.

[Barry Egan]

2010 was DC's hottest June ever recorded with temps reaching 95 or higher 8 days out of 30.  I'd be glad it's over but July and August will no doubt be shittier.

This of course following a winter featuring record-breaking snowfall.

I just committed to school that will keep me here for at least three more years.  I'm beginning to hate that decision.

We've had a blizzard, softball size hail, earthquakes, a flash flood (10" of rain in 4 hours), tornadoes, weeks at a time of sustained 30 mph winds,  and wildfires (caused by lightning) this year. Oklahoma is pretty exciting.  Come august it should be consistently over 100, so it's not all bad.

[Andy]

But we also have central AC, which helps make it bearable.

Two weeks until I'll be living in a place with central air and I can't wait. AC units are the worst- they only cool one room so you still have to sleep with a fan in the bedroom and you have to turn everything up so loud to be able to hear over it's noise.

The humidity in MN has been pretty awful the past week.
