Who bought all the fans?

I know it’s like Seattleites to complain when the weather gets above 70 outside, but this is ridiculous! I felt dizzy last night and couldn’t sleep.

The Mariners game was a lot of fun. Luckily, we had great seats in the shade. It was actually the first time I've felt comfortable in the last few days. The Mariners won by one point. Somehow, we were seated in the heart of the Red Sox fans, so it was pretty loud. All in all, it was a fun afternoon. Of course I think the beer helped.

We went searching for a fan last night and found that all of Seattle has sold out of its fans and air conditioners, because of the heat wave. After failed attempts at the larger stores, I went across the street to a small convenience store hoping (as a long shot) that the store would have at least small fans for sale.

No such luck. But then the manager was very sweet to me and offered to sell me one of the store’s old fans. I was so proud of myself. I know it’s silly, but I really wanted a fan—and asked for what I wanted. Unfortunately, after carrying the fan upstairs and cleaning it, we found that there was an electrical short and it didn’t work. I’m thinking maybe we can fix it. I'm crossing my fingers anyway.
