Sleet and Hail: Minnesota, home of malls

How do you stay cool during these miserable hot muggy days? I have a suggestion: let somebody else pay to air condition you. There are places you can go for extended periods of time during which nobody will ask you to leave, nobody will expect you to do anything, and nobody will expect you to buy anything. Go to a mall: you can spend a long time walking around a mall amused without spending any money (and if you want to buy a cheap snack, why not?). Go to a library: they are air conditioned, they have books and magazines to entertain you, and there's no expectation to do anything. Stay cool on somebody else's dime.

We do not have mixed feelings about KSTP's Patrick Hammer: we like him. He really explains the reasons for the weather patterns well. Thanks, Patrick Hammer: I now understand the meteorological reasons why I will hate life until Monday.

If you dislike Star-Tribune columnist Katherine Kersten, you may enjoy my recent critique of her latest column at Costanza Book Club.
