Damn!  Got up to 86 today.  Weather.com didn't predict that -- and my long run was a aestival slog.  Did 2:23, call it 20.  Read an article in the New Yorker (purportedly a book review, but it didn't do much reviewing) about Italy's ungovernability and ingrown resistance to national, rather than local or international, purpose.  But hell, given the narrowly averted catastrophic U.S. budget impasse, we could've stayed in America for that.
