"You can't buy happiness. But you can buy ice cream, which is {pretty much} the same thing."
-Stephan Geyer
Today my students listened to the lecture
because wiggling around and being noisy
creates unnecessary heat.
Yeah, it's that hot.
Today I saw a sunburned cactus.
Improbable, much?
Yeah, it's that hot.
Today I went to Baskin Robbins
ordered a double-scoop cone
{the lady added a third scoop for kicks, bless her heart}
and not 10 steps out the door
my gorgeous creation
had melted
down my arm
down my white pants
into my shoes
and onto the pavement,
marking my trail all the way back home.
Yeah, Japan is a wee bit roasty.
