J.H.C. It's Hot

Another scorcher today. Walking out of an air-conditioned building into the heat feels like you just walked into an oven. I'm riding around in a Jeep without air conditioning, which doesn't help. I have the side and rear panels off, but the wind feels like a hair-drier.

Moving to Chapel Hill won't help. It was 101 there yesterday.

The Wilmington trip was unpleasant. Not only was it hot, but there was a wind blowing at 5 or 6 knots to the north, exactly keeping pace with out boat doing northerly transects, resulting in no net breeze, for all the hottest part of the afternoon.

Tomorrow I make the seven-hour drive to Asheville to clean out my apartment there. (I don't yet have a place in Chapel Hill, so stuff is going in storage for now). I've debated renting a car just so I can have some air, but I think I've just decided to suffer.
