on the hottest day of the year so far

And what is my crazy certifiably insane neighbour doing? Yep, mowing the sidewalk. See all that grass on his property? Takes him three hours to cut and trim. Three! Oh, that includes cleaning up the sidewalk with a mower instead of sweeping, as normal folk tend to do. I'd talk to him about it, but we're not quite on speaking terms.

Me? I'm sitting with my feet in a basin of cold water while I type, a glass of cold lemonade within reach, and two small fans trying their darndest.
