Too darn hot

It’s just too damn hot.

My office building in Manhattan is not equipped for this kind of heat.  We had an ice cream social at work today but still sweltered.  I’m so glad the heat is supposed to break tonight.  I ran out to get some lunch today and met a British woman in the elevator; she said to me, what’s 100 degrees in Celsius?  And I answered, freakin’ hot, that’s what it is.

My Aunt Bonnie thinks that this is the entire problem in the Mideast.  It’s just too damn hot.  If they could all get air conditioners, and chill a bit, everything would be fine….”Let there be a Palestine, what’s the big deal?”  She also says that we don’t need to know about the heat index: why do we need to know that it feels like 110 degrees?  If it’s 95 degrees out, that’s really all we need to know.  She is a wise woman.  I feel like I need to get her phone number to Condoleezza Rice.  “Just get them all industrial-strength air conditioners, it’ll all work out.”  Condi isn’t necessarily doing a bang-up job.  I think we should let my Aunt Bonnie try it for awhile.

I'll vote for Aunt Bonnie. Maybe she can also arrange for more cruise ships in Lebanon. I bet those people could use a week on the open seas.
