Hot hot heat

Oppressive heat has interesting results. It boils brains; it makes everyone flustered; it unifies everyone with the observation of, "It's so hot" (not that it needs to be said). It also makes us feel as if there is some great injustice going on, that we are forced to live through such conditions, even work.

I have had the great (mis)fortune of returning to work right at the beginning of the heat wave. The worst, they say, in 100 years. So hopefully we won't have to endure it again in 100 years - or perhaps not?

Saunas, they say, are good for you because, among other things, they purify us. And how do they do this? They bring all impurities to the surface.

Yes, this is a kind of sauna. We're living in a sauna. Perhaps, instead of complaining, we should try to live with it. Who knows what the results would be.
