It's ever strange when Life in a Northern Town goes steamy. Saint Paul is locked in a heat wave. 100 degree temperatures in a land also blessed with 35 below. You have to like extremes. In fact, love them. Or you're dead. The roads are buckling in the heat. Great chunks of pavement, like tectonic plates, crashing and butting and breaking – up, generally, instant speed bumps cresting in the highway. Stray dogs wander down empty streets like high noon firewalkers. The refugees crouched in front of fans, fridges and air conditioners. Bohannon is restless. Nothing to show but some days of sobriety – golden nuggets in an otherwise shale life. “Why is the former so right, but the latter pretends and fools and wins.” Brown outs only add to the lethargy – just another excuse for slothlike behavior. Enjoy the couch. Ignore the booze. Stare out into space. Romona Johnson has simply had it. Look for her if Bohannon can hold it together. Ramona Johnson's gonna win in the end.
