Project Milk: new chapter work.

[joshksingh]

Last night I started working on the next yet-unnumbered chapter, and I intended to finish it today. But it's been so fucking hot. It's looked cloudy the past couple days, but now I realize because, with the relatively rainy, temperate summers we've had the past few years, I'd forgotten what smog looks like

Well, the heat does come from the Gulf of Mexico, so…thanks guys, I guess. I could see the Dallas area being humid. Is it humid in San An too? The humidity's always the killer. But we did have a few rainy summers that kept the temperatures and the smog at bay. Luckily we got a few sun showers this evening, so it helped cool things off a tad. And of course it's nice to take a deep breath and get that rainy-day aroma, as opposed to the stench of suburban commuters. I'd say the smog blew in from Hamilton or Pittsburgh, but there was no wind so it obviously was all us. And by 'us' I mean the suburban commuters, since the manufacturing sector here is dead.

Sigh.

I think central air is standard on newer houses in the outer ring. We could probably easily have it installed, since all the ducts are already there, but we're a demented family paying insurance on four vehicles instead. Keep in mind there's only four of us in the house, and I am ethically opposed to getting a license.

I don't even mind the lack of cooling in itself; there are a lot of people in this city who have it, but there are a lot of people who don't. We just like to make ourselves seem poorer than we are, I think. I'm just waiting for the temperatures to decline a little so I can concentrate. I'm sure the homeless and the nursing homes are more anxious than I am on the whole.
