Here Is Where You Can Complain About The Heat

Have you been outside lately? The city has officially wilted. New York's typical hurried, outta-my-way gait has been replaced by a pace more frequently found in tropical climes, which is perhaps appropriate given the oppressive heat. People are shuffling around slowly, seemingly unconcerned about getting to where they need to be in anything approaching a timely fashion. And you know what? Good for them! It's hot out there, and will continue to be so for some time. Your bright spot this week comes tomorrow, when a series of thunderstorms will ensure that the temperature doesn't rise past 87°. It's gonna feel like spring! And then, sadly, back to hell. So enjoy it while you can.

I think if LeBron comes back with a renewed focus they will be better!

The weather is at its worst on Friday? Has God learned nothing from Rebecca Black?

Is this a NY-exclusive Heat Complaint Zone? Because Chicago is currently melting. The heat index may be higher than my commenter number.

@Bill Meltsner Try being 10,025. So close to the quadruple digits.

I feel like I'm living in a dog's mouth.

@winchesterwolcott: In Virginia, where I grew up, we stepped out of the A/C into a cow's stomach.

I almost left the house in a tank top and overalls, but then caught myself in the mirror and realized that I looked like a Dexy's Midnight Runner, except old. So much for leaving the house.
