Today my ride home from work was the first one this year where it felt hot. The weather report online assures me that Phoenix is finally -- yes, finally -- hitting daily highs above 40ºC, which statistically is about average for this time of the year, but somehow today it felt especially hot, as if I had stepped not outside but inside -- into a blast furnace.
It could be that I spent an unusually large amount of time this weekend inside air conditioning and that my sweat glands had weakened to mere mortal status.
It could be that I failed to keep up with my normal water intake this afternoon at my desk and was dehydrated on the ride home.
But then again, maybe it really was hot. As evidence for this alternative explanation, I provide for you evidence A:
I passed this guy on the canal path. As I passed him I realized that, yes, that blurry white thing on his neck and upper back is a bag full of ice! Here's evidence B, the close-up:
So much for bikes not having air conditioning!

Jace is going to kick your fit and great butt when he finds out you posted before July.
...I waited all month for this?
Now I know why RSS was invented.
You could have held out two more days, wrote about the lost month of June. But ...nooooo...bicycle A/C is what you provide the webloging public. Laura is right. That Jace guy should kick you butt, fit or not, and add one for me while he is at it.
Look at you, quick with the camera while you pass the guy up!
Did he notice you were photographing him?
Good to see you posting, Craig!
