I was just reading the national weather. You're area sounds particularly rough. My fan is doing better this morning after having help from the night to cool off the room. Though for the usual here it didn't get very cool. I really understand why they put out calls for fans and window a/c's for old folks in heatwaves. There gets to be no air in the room and your body does weird things. A couple of weekends ago I spent one day splashing myself with cold water to survive. It would really suck if I were 80.

Driving in Manhattan ugh. I would be too timid to try that. SF is tricky because of all the one way streets and hills. I regularly have a dream that I get stuck at the top of one of those hills and can't get all the way over. It has happened to me in a stick shift car before. I get stuck and then I have to wave everyone around me. And I have to wave at people to back up if they stop to close. I had a girl friend who lived in the city and bought a moped sp? (scooter). She picked me up at the base of California street right where the cable cars turn around (next to the Hyatt Regency). I jumped on back for a nice ride through the city. She took off straight up California street...I mean straight up. I am having a heart attack and the people on the cable car are laughing as I act horrified. Not really an act. Taht was a wild ride.
