The weather out there today is hot and shitty with continued hot and shitty in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued crappy with a pissy weather front coming down from the north. Basically, it's hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut.

We have been out swimming in the canal to relieve the heat. Giardia an e-coli are our constant companions, but, what the hell, it's probably better than steaming to death in our skins.
I dread cooking dinner--even on the BBQ.

Even Berkeley has reached the melting point this week and that says a lot. Looks like I may have to get myself air conditioning even before moving... If it didn't get cool in the evenings I would have got one already. For the moment I had to settle for freeballing in training shorts<sup>*</sup>, as that's the only combination that allows me not to have continuous streams of sweat going down my legs. I really hope the forecast is right and that it's going to get back to normal by Tuesday, if it stays that hot for too long I will run out of codeine and I've been told that stuff is next to impossible to get in the US (note for the interested: in Europe codeine pain killers are off-the-counter drugs).
Dammit GBM, we have to move further apart from each other. Folks, I am afraid this is our fault: we have inadvertly caused two MHCTACWMs (that's Murphy Heat Centres Targetted at Cold-weather Monkeys to you, bubs!) to appear in relatively close vicinity. Sorry about that.
<sup>*</sup> Be thankful I haven't posted pictures! :p

The car has no AC. Oh God.
When you stick your hand out of the window while travelling at 80 mph and the air is still fucking HOT (not warm, HOT) then there's a problem.
You know the ol' trick about cooling down your brewskies when there's unbearable heat and no refridgeration facilities anywhere near? Wrap a wet towel around them and leave them in a breezy spot (or turn a fan at them). Evaporative cooling. They say (with a proper amount of bullshit factored in, for effect) that in extreme heat you can almost freeze a soda bottle when you tie the package on, say, the roof of the car, and then drive around.
I'm not saying you should wrap a wet towel around your head, stick it out of the sun roof and drive around the neighborhood at 80 mph (laughing maniacally, shaking a fist at the Sun), although it would instantly create an immortal meme.
(Thank goodness the temps have dropped to reasonable levels around here, though.)

I love summer. I loved it in Africa too, where it was seriously hot. I guess I love it here in the UK because it's the only time we really get any sun and it's never (EVER, you fags) too hot. At least in Africa you were guaranteed sunshine all year, even it it wasn't of the sweltering hot type.
That heat where you are seems cuurazy GBM, but if it's a dry heat ("Yeah, but its a dry heat!" <-name film, get 10 points) I wouldn't mind. The heat-thunderstorm cycle is one thing I really miss about Africa. How can you beat the excitement of sunfilled swimming and barbeque days followed by dramatic nights of rhythmical chaos and the charged air of a thunderstorm?

So I guess you could say discomfort at the heat is a subjective effect AHAHA
In other news, Glasgow's heat has calmed the hell down this week.

So not a dry heat.
