Smogfest: it's 110 degrees and you can't see across the street. Headline in the Daily Facts says it's been 13 straight days.
I've learned to sleep late, then spend as much of the day as possible inside the air-conditioned mall.
Evenings are pleasant. My mate David brings malt liquor from work, we hang on the porch with guitars and plans. The songs are fun, the energy is unbounded, the only constraint is time.
