RRRRRrrrrrrrr....it's tooooooo *$^#%! hot here.

It's so hot, Ken Lay is probably glad he's burning in Hell.

It's so hot, the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.

LMAO!!!!

Try living in the midwest. It was 100+ everyday this week until finally a storm came through and put it down into the 80's. People are dying. The city looks like a mess do to all the tornadoes. Power and water is out in the poor areas of the city. The National Guard was called in. 500k people are still without power and 50,000 are without proper water. TV towers are down. Radio signals are down. Paper isn't printing.

Well they finally are starting to bring power out to the people but the urban decay area of st. louis (north saint louis) still has 100% of electricty and water out after 4 days since the storm came through.

Apparently we have different definitions of the word "living".

Sounds mighty tempting, but I'll pass.

Hey I can't stand it here either. Thats why I'm moving to your neck of the woods. (hopefully)

kitten · Jul 23 06 11:08

It's not that great here right now. Heat records are being broken all over the place.

Gopher · Jul 23 06 11:12

Same goes with me, records being smashed left, right and centre.

kitten · Jul 23 06 11:14

Would that be LPs or 45rpms?

Gopher · Jul 23 06 11:19

78s - for which matter, a temperature of only 78 would be a nice experience at present.

kitten · Jul 23 06 11:21

As I recall, 78s melt rather nicely in the heat. And 78 as a temperature would be heavenly right now. I've put a table fan right beside me, and it's still too hot.

Gopher · Jul 23 06 11:24

What have you got at the moment? We've been in the low nineties most of the day.

kitten · Jul 23 06 11:30

The Humidex is 29C (84F) by the water but inland it's higher. Likely about 33 or 34 degrees by now. Not as bad as your place, but still uncomfortably hot.

Sportsdude · Jul 23 06 01:59

Its much cooler here today.

Its 87 F feels like 93F (30C), (33C)

Humidity is at 30%

Air quality is moderate

But its suppose to get up around 37C by the end of this week again.

TehBorken · Jul 23 06 10:30

It was almost 90 here today...and that was inside my house. Argggg.

I took my first cold shower in almost 10 years. I soaked an old Army hat in water and then stuck it in the freezer for a half-hour. I took it out and put it on, and it felt damn nice for about 10 minutes.

I'm thinking it's time to bite the bullet and shell out the cash for central air conditioning. It just gets too damn hot in my south-facing office to be able to do anything. It's like an oven, and the fan just blows the hot air around like jet exhaust. The best part of the day was the trip to Safeway- it was so nice and cool in there I could have wandered up and down the aisles for hours.
