Rivers of Sweat

Haven't stopped sweating since i got home 5 hours ago. I haven't lived with A/C for about 4 years now, so it's not that big a deal. Besides, when it gets real bad, i resort to my abuelito's technique. He used to live in the Chicago ghetto, also sans A/C, and when it was very hot out, he would take a stack of t-shirts and put them in the freezer. Every 10-15 minutes he would take one out, put it on, and put the one he was wearing back in the freezer. If you're used to A/C then you probably won't find it so refreshing, but if you're not then it's quite a treat.

It was so nice and hot out on the ride home that i stopped at various points along the river just to take it easy and enjoy the sun. Looking at the birds and the fish and the turtles, i wondered that thought again: how long until they evolve to mimic trash - until the fish have the coke logo patterned on their bellies, the turtle's shell looks like a budweiser can, and the crane's eyes are shaped like bottlecaps? And once they have evolved to that point, if i take a photo of the budweiser-turtle, and print that photo for money, will i get sued by budweiser for copyright violation?

Wow, despues de leer recorde un verano intenso en Lima hace tiempo y recuerdo a mi abuelo metiendo sus camisetas en la refirgeradora jajajaja, era bastante divertido, claro que luego estuvo con gripe.
