twas 97 at 10 AM today morning...

In Boston! And hot and humid in NYC. I grew up in NY, and lived in MA for many years before moving to California. It'll irritate you to hear that southern Californians complain about how hot it is anytime it goes over 80, even though it's almost always dry. I just did about 25 miles on the San Gariel River Trail out of Asuza. Close to 90 and windy, but eminently doable and pleasant even to an out-of-shape dodderer like me. This area is paradise for cyclists.
