Hottest Day

[Yaaluwa]

Russia is baking in its hottest summer on record, but efforts to stay cool are having deadly consequences...
To escape the heat, many Russians are heading to lakes and rivers in droves. Unfortunately, they drink while doing so and many get drowned.

Not a very rational solution to the heat problem.

Yesterday was the hottest day this year in New Jersey too

It's unseasonably cool in Northern California. I guess the heat is getting distributed around strangely. I just got back from riding my bike to the store at around 3 in the afternoon. I thought I was going to have to put on a sweater, but decided against it.

This story reminded me of the famous drowning turkey tale. Apparently, turkeys are so stupid they will drown watching the rain with their mouths open.

This is, apparently, not true.

Such a pity. I thought I had found something more supid than a sweltering Russian.
