Wow, it’s been blazingly hot the past couple of days, hasn’t it? My walking commute over the Schuylkill leaves me pretty sweaty, and running has pretty much been out of the question. Even on days that are 10 degrees cooler I still have visions of throwing myself into the Schuylkill just to cool off. But I am told that I might not be so happy with the quality of the water, so I have resisted the urge to jump in so far.

But here is a photo I took last weekend of the boathouses on the Schuylkill. And I have to say, the water still looks pretty appealing. Or maybe it’s just that the heat has entirely gone to my head.
