Its too hot!

[Jadapit]

You all don't know what 'hot' is until you live though a summer here in Phoenix AZ!!


Yesterday, 07-04-07 we broke a record with it being 115.

We have gone 13 days now with the tempature of 110 or more with no relief in sight!

I can't tell you the last time it rained, maybe back in January or February - the fire danger is waaay high.

So lets not talk about being hot!! LOL

I saw on the news that Phoenix was going to be around 115 today. Is that true? I could not handle that heat, how do you do it?

*edit to add*

How do people that have to work outside handle it? I would think temps that high would make a person sick. I honestly cant imagine. LOL.

My daughter has a friend visiting from Phoenix, she is going back today. I said so you must be use to the heat and she said "you never get use to it", I don't know how you do it in Arizona.

she said "you never get use to it", I don't know how you do it in Arizona.

Well... she is kinda right, but think of it this way, when it is the middle of winter, so cold you can't move what do you do? You stay in the house & warm up, right? Well we do the same thing, we stay indoors and stand in front of the a/c!!

Hey, it may be 115, but you don't have to shovel it!!!!!

We just reverse our lives, we live outdoors in the winter, and stay inside in the summer.

As for people who work outdoors, they probably start around 5:30 - 6:00 am and then quit by 1-2:00pm, and they are use to the heat believe it or not!

I would not trade this life for anything! I love the hot weather - and so does my arthritis!!!

Well, it was a 'mere' 90F - 32C in Calgary today. Tomorrow down to a cool 75F - 24C.

I think we have got near 40C - 105F here, usually in July for a few days heat wave.

My place stays cool - but Oscar and Cole are not happy about the blinds being closed in front of the sliding balcony door.
