Damn it it's hot! And the heat doesn't subside even when it's 5 a.m. in the morning. I know this for a fact since for the last few days I've been up and surfing the web at the wee hours of the night...err... morning...err...whatever. The point is it's so freaking hot.

All that's missing now to make this the summer of 1992 are the sporadic black outs, the ice candy stands and the neighborhood kids clamoring outside our gate, asking my sister and I to go out and play patintero with them. Good times. Damn hot times but good times. Unfortunately now it's just plain hot.
