The weather man is a tool of the devil sent to torment Houstonians into a false sense of hope.We were told that Friday's thunderstorms would give way to drier and cooler air -- a decent weekend for outdoor training.
A cruel hoax, that was.
A lie.
It was almost 80 when the sun came up on Saturday. Mold spores were heard to complain about the mugginess of the conditions. By the end of the day it was in the 100s.
Sunday was even warmer and even more humid. I went for a wee bit of a run and nearly killed two Austinites who were foolhardy enough to attempt a long run in our fair city.
I have lived here for 15 years now, and this is the worst I have ever seen it. You can't even escape the swelter by becoming a vampire and training completely in the dark. You need F-ING GILLS and a respirator to filter oxygen from this putrid, pollution-choked, butylene/toluene/ethylene/xylene-infested, particulate-laden liquid atmosphere.
BWAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHGHGHGHGHGHG!~!!!!!No wonder we waddle from our air conditioned houses to our air conditioned cars park in air conditioned garages and take elevators to air conditioned tunnels to our air conditioned offices and thence waddle our air conditioned route back home.
Except if the escalator is not moving, in which case rather than climb one flight of air conditioned stairs we stare dumbfounded and blink three times before waddling our air conditioned arses to the freight elevator.
I need a hug.

No - you need to move. Your environs no longer suit your lifestyle. Too bad about that partner thing. Go to Austin and hang out a shingle. You'll be happier!
