A Tuesday afternoon scorcher, in that refuge known at Zuzu’s, in Beacon, a haunt of many a Philipstowner.  Even the video gamers at the Macs look too wasted by the heat to do valiant battle today.  Flipping through a newspaper is as arduous as it gets.  But the strains of trumpet solos give the place a sense of air, while the concoctions of Mike the regular Tuesday afternoon java-bearer (and music-chooser) seem to lower the temperature to something fine and mellow.

Mike does his coffee thing.
