This morning at 7:00 am when I left to catch the subway, it was 84 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity was high. I know it is much hotter in other places and the humidity is worse, too, but I'm not there nor would I want to live there. The equatorial regions of the planet may be spectacular in places, but I'm sure the people already living in those areas don't need one more person's body-heat adding to the already stifling conditions.
Last night when I went to get something to eat, I was surprised to see so few people on the street - so strange for an otherwise beautiful evening. I guess people just stayed indoors, and they were smart to do so. Today, there is an expectation that the actual temperature will reach 104 degrees. That's hot, no matter where you are.
