Zero Degree(s)
I had a feeling that this cold spell is a record-breaker, and something I heard on Chicago Public Radio confirmed it this morning. I went to the extreme, last night, of taking my air conditioners out of the windows. It took so much effort - and sweat - to install them that I resisted as long as I could. When I moved into the place I honestly did not see how it could ever get cool, let alone cold as it was the last few nights. This summer I missed the central a/c I had downtown, and now - unbelieveably - I miss the effects of modern insulation and double-paned windows.
So frozen I can't even write!

Oh, j., you bring back so many memories! That apartment was so beautifully renovated, and so defective in so many ways... I remember the sound of the streetcar rumbling past, and the smells, and watching that "stolen" election on the fuzzy screen in the frozen bedroom. Sleeping on a futon in one's bedroom sucks; shivering on a crappy futon in one's bedroom is just tragic. Aren't we glad we got out of that one alive?
