Dry Run in the Heat

Today was the hottest day of the year so far, about ten degrees hotter than yesterday. It means shutting all the doors and window shades when we leave in the morning to keep the house as cool as possible.

I cycled in to Kinko’s in downtown Davis today at lunchtime to pick up the sample chapter I had taken in yesterday. Some pages are in color, some in black and white; the whole thing is double-sided, and it’s well over 400 pages at this point and I don’t want to be resolving weird issues next Tuesday, a recipe for premature aging.

Then I cycled in again after work to meet Numenius at the bank to try and get a sterling check for the second time in five days. Alas, no luck: this system or that system was down. As a consolation we went to the Picnic in the Park and ambled home. It was still well over 90 degrees fahrenheit at 8:00 pm. It’s sleeping in wet T-shirt weather.
