"What dreadful hot weather we have!
It keeps me in a continual state of inelegance."
- Jane Austen, English writer (1775-1817)
UPDATE: 1:38pm
Today at work our air conditioning is not working. So that means it's hotter inside the building than outside. Good stuff. We went for a lunch bike ride and it was great weather, right around 80 degrees. Now we are sitting here sweltering & sweating and trying to get some work done (or some blogginess). Ugh.

I know exactly how she feels. Two straight days of record high temps in Seattle, and I'm wilting like limp asparagas and sweating like I have a faucet in my head. Now, I realize it's only in the low 90's, but that is still way over the seasonal temp for this part of the country - and most of us don't have AC out here. Wouldn't need it but a couple days a year. That's one reason I chose to stay out here when I moved from Colorado back in 1996. I didn't miss the 100+ degree summers at all. Nice, balmy 75-80 degree days and blue skies are perfect for me. (I get crabby if it climbs over 85 degrees). It was nice to have it fall on a weekend though - I should have gone swimming.
