I had a good time at [info]dan4th's game night last night. I got there late, but not too late to play Apples to Apples and Chez Geek. I've played the former before, but the latter was a new game to me. I'm definitely going to try to make it semi-regularly to future game nights.

[info]porcelaingirl was there, and it was good to see her again. We had a good chat walking on my way to the bus stop home.

The bus home was hellishly hot, and I had to get off half way into the trip and walk the rest of the way. I very much dislike the new buses the MBTA has be slowly replacing the old ones with. They have no openable windows, meaning that if it is too temperate for the air conditioner to be turned on, the body heat of the passengers turns the bus into an oven. Even when it is not temperate, the air conditioners can break down and there are bus drivers that believe air conditioning is not needed until the temperature exceeds 95 ºF (35 ºC, 308 K) . My hyperhidrosis ensures that I will become an grumpy and unhappy berv soaked in sweat in these circumstances.

I agree, the newer buses are horrible. They seat far fewer people (partly because of new specs to accomodate people with disabilities, but the designers need to show more creativity and do this while still providing actual seats for people) and as you say, when there's no air conditioning there's really no way to open the window. Some of them have these kind of slots at the tops of windows that will come open, but this is barely enough. And the bus drivers don't want to hear temperature complaints. How can they stand it? They have to be in those ovens all day.
