It’s Hot Out There Today, Kids

I thought yesterday was hot, but then I walked outside my building this morning and realized I was grossly mistaken. According to weather.com/J.C. Monahan, temperatures in Boston will rise to the high 90s today, but will feel like 104 degrees! Yikes. So much for reading in the Public Garden at lunch. My Irish skin won’t be able to handle it.

In related news, I’ve seen an inordinate amount of people walking along the Brighton streets with no clothes on since I got back into town yesterday. It’s almost as if they got so hot they just couldn’t take it anymore. I would have photographs for proof, but I’ve learned that people really don’t like when you take naked pictures of them without their knowledge. Except of course, the two ragamuffins pictured above.

If You See a Mortar Shell, Run in the Other Direction

It wasn’t more than a year ago that I was coming home every day from work complaining about how crazy Long Island truly is. Ask anyone around that knows me – there are people who no longer speak to me because the complaining was at a maximum. Since then, I often think that maybe I exaggerated certain situations – that the crazy was all in my head. That was, until I read the following tidbit in the Southampton Press:

Two startling discoveries were made at Ponquogue Beach in Hampton Bays on Wednesday morning.

A beachgoer spotted a rusty mortar shell on the sand just east of the concession stand at around 11 a.m. Less than a half hour earlier, someone had discovered a large portion of a spine washed up between the Ponquogue Beach pavilion and Road I, according to police.

Um, excuuuuuse me? Can you repeat that? How can we be so nonchalant about this nonsense??!!
