This is the icon for Nashville’s weather today at Accuweather. At least Weather Channel has the decency to say “Sunny” so we can delude ourselves into believing “going outside” is a reasonable thing to think about doing. Not Accuweather though. Only the cruel, AccuTruth for them.

Every morning I wake up nice and cool, believing that my air conditioner has gotten its shit together and “climate control” is actually within my reach. Then, as it gets warmer outside, the a/c kicks into high gear, battling away as the temperature on the thermostate crawls up, away from the target temperature, one degree at a time. Meanwhile I can see my electric bill doing a similar crawl, one dollar at a time.

With any luck it will really thunderstorm this weekend as predicted, and moving day will be a cool 90 degrees with no rain.
