Heat wave hits New York
July 18, 2006 
Wow, 100 degree days (115 with the Heat Index) in New York aren’t that much fun. Just a lot of sweating, really.
I found this clip of a CNN article about the heat wave hitting the nation and it reminded me of my days at NYU:
In Washington Square Park in Manhattan, sweaty residents cheered when a large fountain shot on, and they started wading in the ankle-deep water. No one worried about whether it was dirty.
“It’s too hot to care about that stuff right now,” said Alex Glowacki of Brooklyn. “And anyway, it doesn’t look all green and slimy like it usually does, so I feel OK without shoes on.”
Ah, Washington Square Park.
