[2002-07-26 Tues.] ... It is already so hot today that it feels uncomfortable. I did something that I have not done in decades. I went into the water but not beyond the ropes, just to cool down. Normally I avoid swimming without showering afterwards, because of the resulting stink from the Green Lake water. But now I feel refreshed. Let's see how long I can last under the Yum-Yum Tree until I feel too hot again.
