I he weatherman in Washington, D.C., saws we are in for two weeks of this blistering heat.

“Nothing’s so bad, it might’ve been worse,” was thrown into my vocabulary somewhere along the line. All right, valiantly shall this be attempted. At least we have electric fans to help; we don’t have to (wear as many clothes as were required of our grandparents; we have access to plenty of ice; we can do some of our shopping in air-conditioning— Pshaw! what’s the use. It’s too hot to cafe whether we’re better off than we “might’ve been,’’ or not.

All you can do is endure it.
