Joel left Washington, DC, just in time this morning. It's freakin' hot here. It was a high of 98 degrees in the city. I walk to and from work, which amounts to about 2.5 miles per day. But in the summer, it feels like ten miles. I run through at least two sets of clothes per day in this city during this time of year. The humidity is almost scary. Today was the first really, really hot day of the year. Summer is most certainly here.

I hope you're staying cool in your part of the world. This is your open thread for the evening. Use it to talk about whatever you'd like.
