It's hot here. Hot as fuck. Hotter than fuck. Fuck can only dream of being this hot. Mum sent me an email saying that she saw a news report about the possibility of rain in Chicago, but I think the rain decided Chicago was too hot and detoured.
There is no breeze, there is no shade, there is no God.
But then I think about the fact that this heat will end by no later than September, while it is a year-round function in Austin, and I'm okay. When I moved to Chicago I noticed that the primary topic of small talk here was the weather, which makes sense in retrospect. There's no point in talking about the weather in Austin (hot) or Oregon (wet) or California (mild) because it's always the same, but here the weather is a neverending variable.
They say the motto of Chicago is "Urbs In Horto" which means "City in a garden" but I suspect the real motto is Et Hoc Transibit: THIS TOO SHALL PASS.
It might be Adfatimne calidus est prote, "Hot enough for you?"

I'm just not sure that Portland is yet sufficiently crazy, though.
Apparently, Portland's current motto is either "In Livable Cities is the Preservation of the Wild" or "The City that Works," both of which are unimaginably stupid and the former of which I've never even heard before.
I do like Oregon's state motto, though, which is "Alis Volat Propriis."
