I had to go onto campus today for a committee meeting. (It was mercifully short - less than half an hour - and the committee chair apologized to us for summoning us in on such a dreadful day.) I left home at 12:30. The air outside smelled like the exhaust from a clothes dryer.
On the return trip, I had to stop at Shop'n'Save to pick up some groceries; in the midst of this heat, I'd been putting off going, and quite a number of staples - notably including drinkables - needed replenishing.
