There’s an old saying that goes, “If you don’t like the weather in D.C., wait a few minutes.” The power of local weather to turn on a dime was demonstrated earlier this week. For all those complaining about the ungodly heat, haze and humidity, all they really did have to do was wait a few minutes. If you were stuck outside during a lunchtime deluge, the sudden cloudburst may not have been so welcome. But when it’s 100 degrees and swampy out, you’re pretty much going to be soaked regardless of whether a storm passes through or not, so it’s mostly a question of whether your preference is for rain or sweat. Either way, you should be sure to plan your wardrobe for whatever the shifty D.C. weather might bring. And that includes clothes you don’t think anyone’s going to see. That’s one thing your Mom was right about.

Quote of the Week

GWU Student to her friends, looking up at dark storm clouds:

“It’s okay if we get wet. I’m wearing a good bra today.”

After the jump, more proof that despite what some might say, there really are stupid questions.

It was a quiet week in the Overheard offices. We’re lonely without you. Send those quotes to overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com before we find out if idle hands really are the devil’s playground.
