File this one under “oldies but goodies…?” This isn’t the first time we’ve hit 102 degree heat in the city — last year on July 6th the temperature was roughly the same, with threats of blackouts. Check out this handy guide! It’s really liquor-based, as Jen notes, because “What’s a blackout for, if not to get blackout-drunk?”

If memory serves, however, wasn’t the summer of 2010 was ridiculously hot throughout that reaching a hundred degrees didn’t seem quite so jarring? Or maybe we’re just making excuses to complain. Whatever, we’re gonna go get popsicles now.  Boozy ones, maybe.
