It’s The Utter Lack of Air Conditioning
Seattle has been going through quite the heat wave this week and today is expected to top the all-time record (going back to the 1850s) of 100 degrees. While that may not sound like much to some of you (and God knows I’ve lived in hotter places), only 13 percent of housing in this city has air conditioning and, aside from newish office buildings and grocery stores, many business lack a/c as well. It really takes things down to a raw survival level.
All of which is to say that my apartment is a bloody sauna and will be for the next few days–and there’s virtually no way to escape it except for brief trips to the supermarket. Posting will be sporadic the next few days.
