It’s hot, we don’t have air conditioning, and the only way that I can summon up words with my typical ease is by sitting in some sort of ‘climatized café while drinking an icy beverage, which I am not.  So, in ultra-efficient bullet-point format, a few recent observations upon which I will not expound:

• There has got to be some kind of formal inverse ratio that exists between the size of a child and the size of its stroller.  Ergo: toddlers are wheeled around in portable little umbrella strollers, and teeny-tiny babies run pedestrians (ahem) off the sidewalk and into the street in their military-grade armored stroller tanks with double 24″ wheels.
• I would like to see a study that compares the popularity of rechargeable batteries alongside of the number of Wiimotes in use.
• Lastly, it seems like the people who complain most about the heat and humidity are those who experience it for a minute or two each day, while traveling between their air-conditioned home, their air-conditioned car, and their air-conditioned office.  I’m not sure that I want the added credibility that comes with having none of the above.  Just know that we suffer in silence.  Such silence.  Of not saying anything at all about the heat.  Nope.
