Now I know how a lobster feels to be steamed alive

MY GOD, WILL THIS HEAT EVER BREAK?! You have experienced nothing until you live in the third story of a building with no a/c and very few windows. There is simply no cool air for a breeze. It's just hot air being whipped all over the place, and I'm not liking it. I have to SLEEP in this. The way I see it, I can never ever complain about ( Read more... )

i feel your pain. while waldsee seems to be able to afford everything from imported german recycling bins (no, not kidding, they arrived this morning) to rented inflatable planetariums, air conditioning somehow never makes its way onto the shopping list. and we have to run around and carry things in this heat too...or, worse, spend two hours deep frying schnitzel and fries as i did today. blech. off to take another freezing shower in the hopes that life will be at least bearable.

I love Beauty and the Beast on stage! Tell me about it, this weather is cray. I heard it flooded in certain parts of Madison, but there were others who didn't seem to be hit. Where you there when that happened?

Heeee! I was at work when we got hit. Last Thursday, around noon, a torrential downpour hit hard. The water was up to the headlights of cars driving in the streets. Kids from the camps were SWIMMING IN THE STREETS. Then our boss came and told us that Frank's and Bradley were being flooded, so we spent the rest of the day cleaning up water! By 4:00, the streets were dry and the sun was shining. Hoooo boy.
