what can we write about besides the heat?
It's all summer weather all the time here at the squibix family blog! Today I have a good excuse for writing about the heat—two, actually. First, it largely prevented us from doing anything besides going swimming and sitting in front of the fan. Second, its deleterious effect on my brain function means that all thoughts of clever posts that I had this morning—when the temperature was still bearable—have long been driven from my head. We entertained some discussion about how people survive in places where it actually gets hot (such as Greece, which saw 115° temps yesterday, according to the Globe); we decided it was due to the adaptations our limbic systems have made for the cold weather our region more frequently experiences. So we never complain about it being too cold, right?
