Too Darn Hot

OK, it's not as hot as my thermometer is pretending it is. It's just complaining about being in direct sunlight! But it has been pretty terribly hot this week. For the first time this summer, I have been having a little trouble sleeping at night because of the heat!



I get why everyone leaves in August, it's pretty unbearable! My landlord tells me that when he was young, truly everyone left in August, and that for the middle two weeks of the month, Milan was like a ghost town. Now, it's just noticeably less crowded, with reduced store hours and the like.
