baking hot

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kawasaki, 2020.06.12

It's 31°C and 68% humidity right now. Not completely terrible. But the building next to mine has a silvery, reflective roof that comes to about the same height as the edge of the exposed part of the outdoor hallway on my floor. It's a southern exposure, and with the still air and that reflective roof next door I could barely breathe the baking air outside my little apartment at noon today. Amazing.

A man marries to have a home, but also because he doesn't want to be bothered with sex and all that sort of thing.
