Hot

Well, nothing better to illustrate how it feels these days than this, one of Joel Achenbach's great early columns columns for the Washington Post, repeated on Achenblog today: Dawg Days. Starts out:

Congress is in recess. The economy is in recess. Life is pointless. Work is stupid. Air is hot.

Must have struck a chord, because there're 210 comments.....

(Added later:) Not so hot in South Florida, though, see the Miami Herald's Jim Morin's cartoon, posted on Stuck on the Palmetto....
