Beating a hot day

Today started out cooler and even rained a little bit. But as summer days typically go here, it dried up and warmed right up. It's been hot the last few months, but it looks like this guy's got the solution. I can't think of a better place for an air conditioner than at an outdoor bus stop. And to boost the efficiency, a vacuum.

Yes, I mock. I can't help myself. And that's really why you read this blog, right? Anyway, that's all fine and good that the guy had his air conditioner and his vacuum cleaner with him at the bus stop, but consider what happened just a couple of minutes after I took this picture.

His bus showed up. Can you imagine having to sit next to that guy on the bus? And I thought I had it rough when that smelly fat guy took up half my seat. At least I didn't have to share a seat with an awkward inanimate object. I couldn't just politely press my elbow and shoulder progressively harder into its side to make it move at the first available opportunity. It doesn't care. It's an air conditioner.

I think it's funny I just wrote that last paragraph about how it's an inanimate object that doesn't have the same attributes as a person and personified the object to make my point. I know I'm a big dork.
