It’s a tired refrain at this point, but it has been too damn hot in the Pacific Northwest these past few days. Although we are through the worst of it - for now - it still pushed 90 degrees in Seattle today, and the heat and haze teamed up for a pretty perfect dog days of summer afternoon, where one’s sole thought is “where can I get some cold drinks?” Usually these days don’t come until August, if they do at all, but the Earth had other plans for us this year, it seemed.
With Buffalo and the rest of the East Coast experiencing their own heat wave, I guess I couldn’t blame the Mariners for being stuck in dog days mode.
