damont97.5 (degrees Fahrenheit) at the weather station in our development that reports to wunderground.com ...
101 degrees at KIAD -- Dulles Airport, tying the record for this date (1988) ...
100 degrees at KDCA -- Reagan National Airport; the high for the day was 102, breaking the record of 99 (1991).
Ick.
How hot was it in New York City yesterday? Not quite hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk, as Andy Newman and hit cohorts at the NY Times City Room found out... but hot enough to cook a tuna steak!
That report alone is enough to send me running for a cold-n-frosty beverage. Maybe one of these ancient recipes being released by Dogfish Head this summer. As one commenter on the blog pointed out: "Here's to the human race, getting wasted on whatever's handy since time immemorial!"

Chateau Jiahu was ok; not great, but solid. Theobroma was a disappointment when I had it last year. Of their historical stuff, my favorite is still Midas Touch.
But nothing, short of Hertzwesten Dark, can match the second year of World Wide Stout. Though other years of WWS come close enough, most of the time. :-)
That's right! I haven't had the bottle I put away for my birthday yet...
