That angry rising sun

Absent rain, the hot season deepens, even dangerously. Here I am driven to indulge in what was once a serious sin in English prose composition, the pathetic fallacy, attributing human feelings to the sun itself. Why should the sun be angry? Because we have messed up its little sister, the earth?

Anyway there are some serious points to be made here.

First, note that the sun is rising not directly to the east, but slightly -- five degrees -- to the north of east. This means that the twin condo tower on the right is not going to protect my bedroom from ascending sun over the next few hours, the way I imagined it might back ten years ago when I bought this place. It will become hot to the point where I will either get up and head out for coffee, or hit the aircon button and flop back into bed. A dollar or two of electricity for the latter course.
