The best thing about today
Jul. 5th, 2007 06:46 pmwas walking into the campus bookstore and coming face-to-face with a display of a Patrick O'Brian book whose existence I had never previously suspected; The Road to Samarcand, copyright 1954 but never before published in the USA. So a copy of that came home with me. A little Amazon-digging suggests there are at least a few more where that one came from, too.
Otherwise, it's been miserably hot and sticky, with clouds building up but no rain and only a few distant, dubious mutters of thunder.

It started at 7.45pm: a gritty spatter of rain on the window after an hour of dry lightning,and a whistling moan of wind.
Update to the update: apparently, it wasn't enough rain to register on the campus weather gauge. What it did do was drop the temperature about five degrees for an hour or so, after which it went back up. After sunset. Warm wind, maybe? There's certainly plenty of that about.
