Isn't it funny how ones perception of something can change with time? A persons most recent experience tends to override past experience and we attach a superlative to the current event.

For example; I can say with relative certainty that yesterday was the hottest day in the history of the world. I'm not exaggerating, the hottest day ever. It was 100 degrees at 8 at night. Crazy. I mean I'm not a meteorologist and I don't work for Guinness, so I don't know exact records or anything, but that seems a bit extreme. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I only think that because I had to play three softball games last night and I'm still sweating (it will be days before the socks I was wearing dry out, which is unpleasant). But either way it was hot. I had to have lost 5 pounds, and I'm pretty skinny.

Someone should check the records or something, in the meantime I'll be inside in the air conditioning for the next few weeks.
