But the humidity, while present, is nothing like the life-sucking air-as-water experience I remember from Chicago, and the swamp cooler I made (damp towel suspended over half full bucket) actually produces a miniscule but non-zero result.
It's not a day to do much more than sit in front of the fan hoping the laptop won't overheat, but I didn't have anything critical on today's schedule anyway. I leave tomorrow morning for the rest of My Summer Adventures in Chicago.
We were going to have spaghetti and meatballs for dinner - wonder if I'll still be interested in that by the time I need to boil the water....
