People,

I know how trite it is to complain about the weather, and I also won't be one of those people who say "it's not the heat, it's the humidity." No shit. That's like saying "it's not the bullet that kills you, it's all the damage it does inside you."

Anyway, those disclaimers aside, this sucks. We have had hot, disgustingly sticky weather and thunderstorms for two weeks. That's it. And as someone who rides his bike to work (thankfully somehow without all those annoying side effects of exercise like losing weight or looking any better, thanks) I am faced with either sweating through my clothes every day or being soaked by rain. At this point I actually prefer the rain.

But why the rant today? Well, it's hot and disgusting sticky right now (see above) but it also just rained (see above). So this morning I got the benefit of both kinds of weather. I sit here both sweating profusely and freezing in the air conditioning of my office plus I have a soaking wet ass from riding through puddles. Life is, of course, terrible.
