Brad Pitt Has Your Secret Shit: Rolling DC

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

Guys I have 2 extra tix for dc united game @ 730. I won them and didn't realize this but they're club level. Anyone want?

The forecast today is really fucking gross.

seriously, just arrived at desk a mess

Despite finally working up the confidence to do so, I decided today was not really a good choice for my first bike commute.

My co-worker decided it was a good day to bike in. She stopped sweating around 11am.

People were dripping sweat just standing in line at the bus stop in Annapolis at 6 a.m.

@capitalweather
National Weather Service says DC "unofficially" hit 104 today - only 4 days since 1871 have been hotter in DC
2 hours ago via web

got home and took off the office garb and my undershirt was basically like i'd showered in it

Heading through Georgetown to my son's baseball game at Guy Mason in Glover Park I saw the usual long, down the street line at Georgetown Cupcakes. Crazy tourists. Thankfully I found some shade by the ballfield

i really don't get that line. they're not even that good and baked and wired down the street is like 1000x better.

Has Baked & Wired been on tv? The fish sandwiches at Horace and Dickies in NE has been on Man vs Food

The tv coverage probably has gotten the fish sandwiches in NE a few new customers...just not as many as cupcakes in Georgetown obviously

Just saw Billy Bragg in the Dupont Firehook. Someone asked him if he had a show coming up in DC and he very loudly said 'no show this time sorry mate, I'm on holiday, it's an interesting time to be here BECAUSE OF THE VOTE ON THE DEBT CEILING AND THE POSSIBLE ENORMOUS CHANGES TO THE GLOBAL ECONOMY'

I scuttled up and thanked him for his last show in DC then scuttled off back to my seat. He saw I was doing GRE alegbra and wished me good luck with it.

His last show in DC was only so-so. I am a toady in the face of fame.

aw
