In further heatwave developments ...

38° C (100°F) today. J snapped, went to the shop and bought an AC unit that has two-parts and does not need to be attached to the house.[Poll #1331551]I do not promise to be swayed by the vote, because this lj is a monarchic system. Feel free to supply supporting arguments. I realise that I haven't supplied nothing as an option, but with this level of logorrhoea, that's hardly an option ;-)[Poll #1331551]

It is currently 12°F (-11°C) with a windchill factor of -1°F (-18°C) in Boston, Massachusetts. I am wearing clogs, two pairs of penguin socks, leggings under my work trousers, a long-sleeved tee under a Shaker-knit sweater, and I've pulled up my collar as high as it'll go. I am on my third decaf-and-cocoa of the day, and it is only 10:41 a.m. EST. It may also snow, which is ridiculous, because the only good thing about subzero temperatures is the inability of snow to crystallize.

Tomorrow, it will be -10°F (-23°C).

In grad school, I lived in a terrible apartment that nevertheless had free heat. I used to crank up the thermostat to 80°F, put on shorts and a tank top, drink frozen margaritas, and listen to Jimmy Buffett while working on my thesis and pretending I was on a tropical island. Or at least the west coast of Florida.

The point of this comment is I DO WANT.

If you hadn't wasted all that CO2, the climate would still be acting sensibly now, Suzy! IT WAS YOU! I'm telling Al Gore! No, I'm kidding, I'd never set Al Gore on you XXX

You may have all of my heatwaves if I may have some of your cold.
