like, 95% humidity?

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

that’s what it feels like. oh, virginia. i love ya, but sometimes you just want to choke us to death, don’t you? it’s one of those days you don’t even need to bother keeping the windows open a crack, because the air is so thick your car is burning up inside regardless. […]
