It's rather warm outside.
Just got back from my meeting--well, actually I've been back for about thirty minutes now, and the trip FROM my meeting took about fifteen minutes, so it's been about 45 total minutes since I escaped from the blast furnace that is Woodlawn on an August afternoon, and I am still all nasty and sweaty.
It's a bad idea to wear a tie and long sleeve shirt in this kind of weather. Even if you don't have pants on.
Some thoughts you can use--if you see a building with puffy bits of paint flaking off, you can pretty much bet you've got a water problem. That is, water inside the wall, trying to get out. And that's not a good thing, or a cheap thing to fix.
Second, buildings made of brick look better if they retain some semblence of an actual brick color. Painting a brick building blue, or green, or painting fake shutters on the sides of the windows is not a good thing.
Third, it sure is hot outside.
Fourth, you know those little plastic letter openers people give you with their business cards on them? I always take the cover off and put my own business card inside. I'm sorry about that, but it makes it less likely to walk away from my desk.
