How hot/humid is it?
...so hot/humid that:
-My glasses fog up when I leave an air-conditioned building.
-I have to drive w/ my windshield wipers on at night, even though it's not raining.
-I'm electing to sleep in the DORMS b/c my apartment is so miserable.
-If I'm not already sweating profusely when I leave my apartment, I am by the time I manage to get my warped door open and my key out of the deadbolt that I've all but stripped b/c it simply won't come out.
-I don't have to iron my clothes; they're automatically steamed if I just hang them up in my apartment.
-I picked up a few tips from Maggie Gyllenhaal's recent appearance on Letterman. She used to live w/o air-conditioning, so before she went out, she would mist her sheets w/ water and stick them in the freezer. When she came home, she'd have like 20 min. of coolness. I decided not to do sheets, b/c by the time you got them back on the bed, that would be a workout in itself, but the pillowcase is worth it.
-I went to heated yoga and the yoga studio was the same temperature as my place.
And gas cost $2.43 a gallon. In some places, as much as $2.59. For regular. Unrelated to the heat, except that it's all ridiculous.
Sorry about the temporarily anonymous post. Bill, on the blog beat, got me straightened out.

When I was in San Diego it was almost $3 a gallon for premium.
That dry heat thing ... it's the truth ... it rocks.

Yeah, when I visited Philly the humidity was ridiculous. My hair literally fro-ed out within 20 minutes. That said, I can't wait to be back...Aug 19. Have you decided if you are staying there?
That last post was me--Stephanie.

I would like to say one thing about the dry heat vs. the Kansas it-feels-like-i'm-in-hell heat; I told you so AKS.
