the HEAT in Pittsburgh

[mruffruff]

South Carolina is setting records. 102 yesterday with 87% humidity. No relief until Saturday. Walking out the door feels like getting slapped in the face with a wet wool blanket. The electric company says it can handle the power requirements. But can we handle the bills?

I feel so sorry for the animals that have to stay outside and especially for the people who don't have air conditioning at all. Many poor people don't even have fans. The city has opened "cooling stations" where people can go to cool off and opened swimming pools to the public at no charge.

The last time it was this hot on this date was 1900.

I can't even go outside except to go to the car for work. In 2 seconds flat, I have the AC in the car going as high as it will go and I ride to work all the way like that. It's unbearable and pretty much normal for summer here. Stay cool everyone!!
