Going to be close to 100 degrees again today. Yesterday was my day off and aside from a quick trip to the grocery store, I was inside in the air conditioning most of the day. (I was still very productive tho--laundry, bills, and the girl and I cleaned out our unfinished basement--a HUGE accomplishment).

Today it was 80 degrees when I left the house for the bus stop--(on rainy or excessively hot/cold days I take a local bus down to the metro). And I hate to say it--but it was actually *pleasant.* Anyone who knows me knows my disdain for PT with the GP. (Translation: public transportation with the general public.) But today--since it was so hot and the county wants people to use public transportion instead of cars--the ride was FREE. And our bus driver thought he was a DJ--he gave us the time, date, weather forecast, thanked us for riding the Z8 bus to Silver Spring metro station, etc. It made everyone smile. That's tough to do on a muggy hot morning.
