why bother?

Hot isn't really the word for DC today. Icky might be more accurate. I was outside around 1:30 pm, when the heat index was around 108. Reminds me of Austin three summers ago when our a/c broke on the day the thermometer (the actual temperature) hit 114. Just like then, today is gross. Hot. Sticky. Miserably humid. Now I remember why I haven't been in DC in August in seven years.

On a more serious note, people who don't have anyplace to go suffer more than the rest of us in this heat. Remember our homeless brothers and sisters- in your prayers, when you see them getting kicked out of coffee shops and bookstores, and when you walk by with a bottle of cold water.
