"If you are an overeducated (or at least a semi-overeducated) youngish person with a sleep disorder and a surfeit of opinions, the thing to do, after all, is to start a blog." NYT, 09.12.05

a great big nuclear furnace

Facts to consider:

To date: the high for the month in July in St. Louis has been 98 degrees F, with a low of 58. The average high has been (gasp) a steamy 91 degrees while the low seems a balmy 71.

I borrowed this from the National Weather Service for the St. Louis area....

...TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE QUICKLY INTO THE MID AND UPPER 90S BY EARLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH HEAT INDICES RISING ABOVE 105 DEGREES FOR THE SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE DAY.

It's no longer a steam iron outside. St. Louis has become a convectional oven.
