7a. In the evening, hang out in a(n independent) coffeeshop reading, with friends, or even surfing the web instead of running your own AC. Theirs will be going whether you're there or not. And TV either sucks in the summer or is reruns, so you're not missing anything there either.
That's exactly what I was doing this evening. I'm reading Power Broker by Robert Caro - it's about the infamous Robert Moses...who in his younger years was like Anikan Skywalker...idealistic and naive...I'm just getting to the part where he turns into Darth Vader.
