Once again it is ridiculously hot in New York City. Our air conditioner at work was having difficulty keeping up, so we decided to upgrade it. Unfortunately, the new one didn’t have a long enough power chord, so for the past few hours its been blisteringly hot in the office as well (not to mention disgustingly humid).

I’ve been reading in the papers about how it is record-breaking heat almost everywhere in the country. Too bad the current administration doesn’t allow the media to say “global warming.”
