Here in metro west Boston, we have been having a prolonged heat wave. After a very wet Spring, where we prayed for the rain to stop for chrissakes so we could bail-out the basement, we are now dusty parched and dry like old paper. Yes, the dew points are subtropical, but the moisture is locked-up in the tumescent air. There is no relief inland from the torrid relentless, airless blasting sun. And no thunderous cooling afternoon storms like we were getting a few weeks ago. The other day we were 96 degrees and Ft Lauderdale was 76 degrees.
Even beer cannot quench the thirst generated by the sultry arid afternoon sun. It is time to switch to Gin.
