Heat Wave
Life 07/11/2007 |
75 degrees already, and it’s only 8:30 in the morning.
An expected record-setting high of 96 degrees.
Y’know, I thought I moved to Seattle…who snuck up on me and shipped me to southern California (or the midwest, or south, or East coast…I wanted someplace warmer than Alaska when I left, but there’s a reason I stayed in the Pacific Northwest!)?
Ah, well. We’re coping the best we can: fans all over the apartment, daily dunks in the pool, occasional cool showers, spritzers of cool water by the bed, and so on. We keep daydreaming about A/C, but given Seattle, we’d only need it for maybe one week out of the year, so it’s really not worth spending money on. Better to just be wusses and whine our way through the occasional heat wave.

You must pretty new to Seattle… Don’t worry, this is pretty rare. That last time I remember it being this hot was in 1990, and before that it was 1981. Rain is coming….

New-ish, I suppose…in my sixth year here now. Been here long enough to expect a summer heat wave, but not so long as to remember it getting this hot! I’ll survive, I just reserve the right to whine a little bit.
