Project GLOWWORM
A lesson learnt from the horror that was Tuesday: 90˚ Fahrenheit with humidity to match is too hot & too sticky for my driving gloves. They have ventilating holes that are normally quite effective for cooling, but there is no relief to be found in such dense, swampy air; the best chance to eek out any tiny sliver of comfort is to forgo the gloves, however odd that feels after growing used to them lo these many months.

The Queue
Heat Wave picked up toward the end, once an art theft was piled atop the murder disguised as suicide, but I still shan't be reading Naked Heat or the forthcoming Heat Rises. Too many books, too little time.

Less Than Jake, "Overrated (Everything Is)" from In With the Out Crowd (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary:

"Maybe I'm jaded and bored,
Always lookin' for more,
Waiting 'round for the next big fix, I know
I'm a wreck, I'm a mess,
But I couldn't care less,
Don't know what it would take to change me.
Everybody's so afraid to be different,
Please excuse me now if I don't get it."
