We’re definitely in the Dog Days here in the District They Call
Columbia. It is the second half of August, after all, and this is only to be
expected. We’ve got temps in the 90s and humidity right up there alongside.
Whatever gullywashers of storms we get don’t ever seem to break the heat.
Summer is the price we pay, after all, for the glories of Spring
and Autumn.
So here are two things I’m grateful for today: central air conditioning
and ice. My bog-standard fridge-freezer doesn’t have an ice maker, and I
grumble about having to fill ice trays like my ancestors did. But being
able to drink ice-cold beverages in a cooled house on hot days is a wondrous
thing, and I’m deeply thankful for it.
