   It was so hot in Newton that people misread “Heartbreak Hill” as “Heatstroke Hill”.

   Stay safe, neighbors.

     It was so hot in Newton that Setti Warren wished the fake blog post about being named ambassador to Israel was true, given that temperatures were in the 70s there today (true).

     It was so hot in Newton that Tom Sheff pulled papers to run for Ward Alderman, At-Large Alderman, School Committee and Charter Commission, not because he was going to run for all those contests but “because the signature papers make for good hand held fans.”

   It was so hot in Newton that I was glad I moved to Los Angeles, where this morning it is cloudy, cool, and in the mid-60s. Anticipated highs in the high 70s here near the beach have everyone whining. Silly Angelenos!
