It's not schadenfreude - I'm just glad it's not that hot here!

Today's word is schadenfreude (I learned it first from Mike).

schadenfreude –noun - satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune.

The East is suffering through dangerous and sweltering heat. Anything near or over 100° F is bad enough, but in cities where there is so little relief? Yikes.

So, 80° F & humid is uncomfortable. But they have it worse.

I am not satisfied or pleased by their misfortune. Instead, I am counting my humid blessings that we only have it this bad.

Still, dew points above 70° F are bad, period. (That's Rochester today.) New York may be 97° F but its dewpoint is only 61° F.
