It's not the heat, it's the stupidity
The first thing I heard this morning was the annoying local host on our NPR affiliate telling me the high today was expected to approach the record set in like the 1940s or something - around 100 -- and that the heat index was 107, whatever that means. And plus there's an air quality alert of Level Orange, which means you shouldn't go outside, basically. Especially not to ride your bike. Which I did anyway.
I left the house early, and it was plenty cool, considering. The ride home is very likely to suck. On the other hand, it's not very far, and there's beer in the fridge. And lots of other icy cold beverages. And even some mint-flavored Klondike Bars in the freezer.
I'll wait & see how bad it is when it's time to go home; maybe I'll leave the bike here. Tonight's low temperature is supposed to be around 80, so I suspect it won't cool off all that much. On the other hand, it's a bad air day & I'll feel guilty calling a cab.

Aren't all NPR hosts annoying?
I though it was a trademark, or something, or there was some govt. regulation requiring them to speak in an uninflected monotone, so they don't offend the tone deaf.
This particular local one can't even do that right. One can't even tell what she's trying to say sometimes. And as a former local NPR board operator/local host, I can only tell you that it's no regulation, just sort of an informal conspiracy.
