Hot Weather Brings Out the House Centipedes
We’ve recently just had a 90+ heat wave for a week here in NYC and it seems to bring out the bugs. Most notably, house centipedes. Yes I just used my advanced research skills to find that page on Wikipedia.
Being Lazy Under This Insanely Hot Weather
Everyone in NYC knows we’re going through a heat wave - heck it’s going to be 98 tomorrow! This kind of unbearably hot weather makes me so lazy. I have air conditioning but I try not to turn it on until the afternoon - I try to not turn it on during peak hours. The sleep deprivation is definitely catching up to me too. For the first half of today I just couldn’t stay alert. The combination of my extreme drowsiness and the hot weather made me extremely sluggish. So needless to say I was not very productive.
New York City is Too Hard
People, and just everything in general, seems to be much nicer and more open in upstate NY and in other places than it is in NYC. For example, people upstate regularly leave car windows partially open without fear of getting their car jacked. And like the post office. In Ithaca, there’s a post office on Cornell’s campus and when you go in, it’s small, but it’s an open space. The workers behind the counter smile, greet you, and helpfully answer your questions. The interior decor also seems warmer.
