It's Hot. DAMN Hot.

To get the full effect of that title, you have to say it the way they say it down here: "Daayum hot." I just went for a walk at 5:30 a.m., and the little temperature thingy on my front door said 76 degrees. At 5:30! What's worse, it's only like 73 or so in my house, since our air conditioner is completely failing to keep up. If we could have the outside temperature be no more than about 95 or 96, we would be good, but above that, we just suffer. And the poor air conditioner runs and runs and runs. I don't think it's been off in a week and a half. I'm really scared to see our power bill for August.
