It's supposed to reach 180 degrees here today, okay 105, and this is hot, very very hot, even for Washington. We went out to smoke a cigarette a couple of minutes ago and it lit itself. What with the humidity it's supposed to feel like 120 degrees, so only a fool would wander outdoors. Ourselves, we would only venture outdside for one reason: one, a reunion of the Doobie Brothers. We're talking the Doobies of "What a Fool Believes," the Michael McDonald Doobies. For them we would enter the firestorm of Dresden that passes for an atmosphere here. And just so we could shout, "Get rid of Michael McDonald! We want the real Doobies! The "China Grove" Doobies!" We would probably die from heat stroke, but it would be worth it. And the irony is we don't really much like the original Doobie Brothers either, and if they showed up we'd probably shout, "We want Michael McDonald! We want the real Doobies! The "Takin' It to the Streets" Doobies!" Because the fact is we're irrationally obsessed with the Doobie Brothers, probably as a result of the heat, which is responsible for this post, which says nothing and goes nowhere, and is by far the best post we've ever written about the Doobie Brothers, who have a book written about them which we own. It sucks. Seriously. There's nothing more loathsome than a hagiography of the odious.

Why is that?

People are fools. I know this from watching myself. Plus you've got to get from one place to another, and if you don't have a car... welcome to Fuckedville.

Too much heat can cause harm to people. The worse is the heat stroke. Take a bath regularly so that you won't feel the heat and drink plenty of water.
