I don't have much to say, but it's been hot here. We both have air conditioning at work, but outside and the bus and the apartment are all warm. I guess it's good that Lesley's parents have been in town because we've been riding in an air-conditioned vehicle and eating at air-conditioned restaurants with them. It's supposed to be hot again tomorrow before cooling off to the mid-80s over the weekend. Then after that it'll probably be in the 70s for several weeks, as the summers normally are.

The Post-Intelligencer tracked the temperature throughout the day as people tried to buy fans, hung out at the beach, and ate ice cream to deal with the heat. Only 13% of residents have air conditioning here, so people here aren't very well prepared for this abnormal weather. But, with the highest 14 annual average worldwide temperatures in the last 125 years all occuring since 1990, at least partially due to global climate change, I'd expect more Seattlites to invest in air conditioners over the next few years.
