    The phunny thing is that the AC in the office is blowing so cold that I have to wear a jacket.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    At least you have AC! My office doesn't. We are in the high 80's here(33C), which is unheard of for up here. Only a couple of the big stores have air conditioning here. No one does in their houses; most don't even in their vehicles. I drove my van today only because it is the only air conditioned vehicle we own!

    The forest fire rating can't get any higher. There are more than 30 active fires in the territory right now. There is a total fire ban, you can't even have a fire in a gov't approved campground. There is talk that using BBQ's will be banned if this doesn't break in the next few days.

    I hate heat; If I wanted to be this warm, I would pay several thousand dollars to fly to the Caribbean again....these temps should only happen when I am laying on a beach with a cabana boy bringing me rum!

    I'm so jealous. You guys are all nice and hot, and it's raining here again. Rumbling thunder and a nice, steady downpour.

    Sob! I want to be where you are right now. I would love to walk out into rain right now, even in my thin dress and sandals.

    In half-an-hour I have to walk out into a head-throbbing 94F heatwave, get into my warm car (it's under a tree for most of the day) and drive for an hour in the middle of heat-sickened grumpy people. The thought of thunder and a steady downpour makes me long for this to end.

    Try sitting on a dark car seat in gym shorts, commando style in 100+ weather.

    That is a heat wave.

    It is still raining. Nice and steady. Thunder's gone. The only really good thing is I can go out on the deck and enjoy my flowers cause the bees have gone into hiding while it rains.

    I have certainly had enough of this awful heat!! I have A/C at work but then it's gross and hot when I come home, and now my throat is totally hurting because it is so irritated with the drastic changes. I better not get a dreaded summer cold!!!

    Exactly what is the feeling to walk from a 76 degree office into the midday heat?

    You read about the "Oppressive Wall of Heat' and it sucks the life out of you.

    I wonder if the Global Warming people have stock in deodorant companies?
