Today it was 103°F. That’s way too hot and a record for the day.

I sure wish we could use our new refrigerator to cool off the house somehow, but that’s not what it’s for.

On the way home I walked by lots of empty outdoor seating at lots of popular and trendy restaurants. Not a soul outside anywhere except for at the fake Chinese restaurant, P.F. Chang’s. I always thought people eating faux Chinois were not the sharpest pencils in the box and today they proved me right. At 6:30PM it was still over 100°F outside and there they were, following the trendy herd.

I called my friend Il and I asked him if he knew anyone who still owned a convenience store. We could tell them that, yes, popular belief was true and white people do steal. We, being Asians, do not. We would work as unpaid interns for them as long as they let us inventory whatever was in the walk-in cooler. We wouldn’t steal a thing. Just work back in the cooler.

Obviously, the heat is getting to us.
