Not too long ago, I was whining about how cold the spring had been. Well, wham! It`s 90 F and humid now, so we`ve got something new to whine about.

So, the long-deferred annual installation of the air conditioners day has arrived. It`s time to lug the cooling monsters from the basement and wedge them back into the windows they`ll live in until, say, October. I once again get to see if I can avoid gouging my arms on cooling fins and knife edges, or rupturing a disk in my back carrying four air conditioners up two flights of stairs and around various obstacles.

Whee.

Still playing Demon Days. Still not sick of it. I put together a mix for a bike ride today, but my iPod was without any charge and I ended up riding without tunes. Still, I had `Clint Eastwood“ (Gorillaz` single from a few years back) and FeelGood Inc. playing on an infinite loop in my brain anyway as I rode down into the Jones Falls trail/construction site/urban combat area down to Maryland Ave., and down to Mount Vernon, and back up Charles Street past the Charles Village Festival, and behind Hopkins past STSCI and the new Carnegie Institution building. All uphill, the last three miles were, except for the last 100 yards over the crest of the hill past the Rotunda at Roland and 41st St.
