Heat Advisory
Okay, I'm just in from errands and it is effing hot here in New York. The worst thing about hot in New York with no breeze is that the pee, poo, barf and trash start to cook. I'm not kidding. I'd like to think that the dogs are responsible for the smell, but, alas, this is New York. This heat advisory was issued at 4 this morning by the National Weather Service. I'm going cycling!
