You know it’s summer in New York City when you’re walking down the street with your friends and you think it’s starting to rain when, in actuality, it’s just the air conditioners drip…drip…dripping from the buildings above. Seriously, every single day I feel countless water drops landing on my hair, arms, lips (ew), and in my eye (ugh).
The only news article I could find on this specific (and annoying) problem is here. The bad news: “air conditioning experts” say there’s no stopping the dripping. The good news: “The water is completely clean. You could drink it. It’s simply moisture that was in the air. You sort of taste it anyway, every time you breath in.”
Hm, given that NYC air isn’t the cleanest (I mean, big city = air/noise/light pollution), I wouldn’t go so far as to call it “completely clean,” let alone suggest you stand on the sidewalk with your face to the sky and your mouth wide open, awkwardly singing “If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops, oh what a rain it would be…”
And now for a Barney sing-a-long:
Haha. That video is ridiculous. Oh Barney how I miss you so.
