How are you coping with the stifling weather?
I got in trouble a few months ago when a local blogger misinterpretted something I said: I’d made a remark that was a variation on “everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.” He hadn’t heard that expression before and thought I was being a doofus.
Anyway, here we are. Everyone is talking about the weather.
Sure, it’s August. What do you expect when it’s August in St. Louis?
But is it worse than you’ve come to expect? How are you dealing with it? Or is it no big deal?
And how many times today has someone said, “Hot enough for you?”

This too shall pass. It’s been relatively nice most of the year. I worked outside all day Saturday and while hot, water every half an hour and staying out of the direct sunlight helped.
