Yesterday, it got up to 93 degrees (Fahrenheit) in our office and I actually started sweating. Now I know how Joan of Arc felt when she was being burned alive at the stake. The air conditioner went out Tuesday (6/30/2009) and they just got the part(s) in today (7/2/2009) to fix it. What follows is what I like to believe is at least a good a version as Boston Globe’s Big Picture of our harrowing experience.

Now I’ve gotten my pictures out to the world at large. It is similar to what the Iranians are having to do since the election. Thanks Pete Hoekstra!
