My glasses fog up every time that door opens. Yesterday, it was a record high of 107 degrees with no sign of letting down. The local radio station cooked an egg on the sidewalk just to test how hot it was. Everyone showed up, even the local news channel. Unfortunately, with all the excitement about...
