While it lasts

Guess I should say this while I have the chance: it was a beautiful day today. People keep saying that it's going to get miserably hot, and I don't doubt them. Today, however, was really worth being thankful for. When I first went outside this morning to take the 30 step walk to the bathroom, it was raining very lightly and the air smelled fresh and clean, when normalized for Iraq. Today as I was walking back from working out, there was that wonderful spring feeling of sun on your skin, not too hot, not too cold. Just nice.
