the urban heat island is real, and austin is hot enough already, so thanks for the very humane suggestion! the screen on my phone used to turn black if i forgot it in my car at work. sometimes i left frozen tamales on my dashboard and came back for them at lunchtime.

in my student coop, i once looked up from my studies to see that my clock/thermometer said it was 110F on my desk. so yeah, if you're going to cut down all the shade, can a bro at least get some awnings?
