Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

mookie when you come?

from over on the "mixed up" thread:

CVS and CSV

due to CVS' proximity to my work and CSV's applicability to my work, they come up pretty often, and i always have to stall for a second while i figure out which is which. wish the cvs was a walgreen's tbh

ZS, I just put a few things together. Is this the CVS at 13th and Penn?

Monday we moved into the new house, where chaos currently reigns. But had dinner out on the deck last night and it was badass. Will host drinks as soon as we can locate glasses, bottle opener.

it is! yep, i work across the street.

xxp: I work over on 12th. It is my CVS too!

I am not particularly fond of it.

Are some CVS's worse than others?

yes

I think Bryce Harper is gonna be playing ball for Harrisburg in Bowie next week (while I'm on vacation).

power just went out for about 10 seconds and i had a mini panic attack thinking about how awful it was going to be with no a/c. so glad it's back. knock on wood.

If the power goes out, I will just drive around all night. It's way too nasty for that shit.

No joke, our A/C went out two days ago, the repair guy came by yesterday and was basically like

\_(oO)_/ "I don't know this time, sorry! I might be back on Thursday, maybe!"

And the landlord says that maybe it's finally time to replace the whole system?

Meanwhile, the heat index on Friday is supposed to be 116!

So far our AC is holding steady, meaning it runs constantly. Can't wait to see our first power bill in this place (95 yo house). ZS we can put you up if you need a place to beated the heat. Warning: the guest room is currently bubblegum pink with safari animal murals.

Also half the toilets don't work.

But your ac is working, so life is mostly good I guess

Can't complain. But might anyway!

heat index of 116 on friday!!

not sure how well this shakey a/c unit is going to hold out

thanks quincie - but i've already got a place lined up for the weekend, just in case.

our landlord is already apologizing and talking about prorating our rent, which is cool, but also suggests that it won't be fixed anytime soon.

!

landlord should be doing more than talking imo -- should be buying you a window unit or something. 116 heat index is no joek

fortunately my a/c was just repaired in june so it should be good to go. if not, i'll go camp out in my office, which is insanely cold.

Wow this is really a whole new level of disgusting.

seriously, i was soaked within seconds of walking out the front door

ugh i'm flying back this afternoon

if it already fucking sucks this bad in hartford i can't wait

For once I am actually looking forward to a work trip to Atlanta next week. It can't possibly be worse anywhere else in the universe atm.

miss u guys in this time of crisis

hate u

come back and post after the quake, mmmk?

i know my chill laid-back totally not type-A attitude might surprise you but i was not tryna be facetious! it's like when snowpocalypse hit -- all me and annie talked about was how we wished we were there, trudgin to giant in car-ruts

aw, trudgin to giant in car-ruts was so epic.

<3 you 69!!! Come back to us!

ill be through in october and december!

Yay! PS there will be a wedding on October 15 iirc.

B-D

thats a sunglasses dude AND a very important mnemonic

I am so baffled by the dude at CVS looking at humidifiers today

Tomorrow (Friday): Combining the heat and humidity, it’s perhaps the most extreme day in 15 years. High temperature surge to 99-104, with dangerous heat indices of 114-118. Add bad air quality into the equation, and consider cutting back on any planned time outside.

9pm heat index at the airport was 111

i only took one semester of meteorology in college, but dang

My kid is working outside at a 9am to 2 pm baseball camp today.

Holy crud. Isn't there just a baseball movie they could go watch indoors somewhere?

I think they might be able to use a gym and throw tennis balls around.

wow, that is not safe. literally, alerts say it is dangerous to be outside!

dulles hit 105. highest temp ever recorded there.

from my work zip, around 2:30:

lighting and some raindrops around here in Alexandria. should cool it down a bit.

also my a/c, while not totally dead, is providing less cool air. I've shut it down for a bit and am relying on fans.

The severe thunderstorm missed the District by a couple of miles. NWS has now cancelled the Severe Thunderstorm Warning. However, cloud to ground lightning strikes are currently being reported in parts of D.C. Please remain vigilant.

i saw a couple of those cloud-to-ground strikes driving home about 15 minutes ago
