Thursday, May 15, 2008, friends Quandarius Smiley, 11, left, and Chris Fowler, 11, both of Oakland, hang out in front of the YMCA on the corners of Brockhurst and Market in West Oakland as they try to figure out how to spend their afternoon on such a hot day. They both say the heat makes them tired so they don't want to do anything, which they say is boring. (Alison Yin/The Oakland Tribune)
