the hottest day in history

I was there, holed up in my office with the blinds closed. We stood out on the deck for a while in the shade and just started sweating from standing around. The bus home tonight will be interesting, I'm thinking I'll camp out here as long as I can while the a/c stays on. Nothing to do at home but sweat, anyway. It'd be a good night to go swim at Golden Gardens, actually.

It happened...Sea Tac is now 101 and STILL CLIMBING. Everett is an amazing 98 and Renton 102. And this is not over yet. We will not only break the record but smash it. Locations near the foothills are reaching 104- 106. This is an extraordinary event. Many stations will break their all-time record temperatures today and even more their daily values. Ballads will be written about the heat experienced today.

I'm thankful that Josh's wedding on Saturday is supposed to be much cooler.
