Shade



Oh, look, it’s shade, the only shade in the parking lot. I’ll take it, after taking a picture of it.

[Temperature: 90°. Heat index: 103°. Yes, the shade does look like an angry dinosaur.]

I did immediately see Godzilla.

You are a little hotter than we are up north, but not by much.
With high humidity, it's like a swamp here---so maybe that's the Creature from the Black Lagoon...

Yikes — the Gill-Man! Given the humidity, I guess he might be able to survive out of water.

C'mon, maybe it's just yawning.

Already bored and waiting for school to begin.

Austin, Texas has a city ordinance that parking lots must have a shade canopy of 50 per cent by 2030.

I just read about it in a BBC feature on the U.S. heat proofing cities.

Such a commonsensical and relatively inexpensive way to protect the future. I just heard a 99% Invisible that noted the effect concrete has on city temperatures — raising them ten to fifteen degrees.
