To hot to read...to hot to type

[Gawen]

Today just about killed me. Just too frakkin hot and humid where I live. Saps the energy right out of me.
So when I'm not melting a big block of ice over my head, I'll check in from time to time.

And to think there's 2 months of this stuff left..*hevy sigh*

2 months?  Wait I thought we had at least until the middle of October.....  Wait that was last year.....

Broke down and turned the AC on, set it at 80 from 3 pm to 10 pm, set at 90 the rest of the time.  It kicked on around 1pm today, got a little warm in here

Up in the UP of Michigan, it's really nice weather.  Today was about 70 with no humidity, by seven pm, it was only about 60.  Tonight should be very nice, indeed.  But, I understand heat as I grew up in South Carolina.

I'm on a summer softball team (composed fully of freethinkers from the DFW area) it was so hot playing sunday evening (I'm catcher and wear a mask so I'll have teeth later) that I almost couldn't do it.  I was apparently really dehydrated and started crying when complaining about how uncomfortable I was...I didn't even remember that I had done that till my husband reminded me to make fun of me for being a baby.  It was absolutely horrible and I was drinking as much water as I could....no more texas summer leagues for me after this one; at least not if I have to play catcher.

I SOOOOOOO understand whereof you speak, my sibling-in-heatstroke.  I was so sweaty and grimy when I returned home from work that I immediately washed my face...which was immediately sweaty and grimy again.  I was refreshed for about 5.2 seconds, I think.  In fact it's so hot here, that, in homage to New York, I'm compelled to quote Douglas Adams:

One of the extraordinary things about life is the sort of places it's prepared to put up with living.  Anywhere it can get some kind of a grip....It will even live in New York, though it's hard to know why....In the summer it's too darn hot.  It's one thing to be the sort of life form that thrives on heat and finds, as the Frastrans do, that the temperature range between 40,000 and 40,004 is very equable, but it's quite another to be the sort of animal that has to wrap itself up in lots of other animals at one point in your planet's orbit, and then find, half an orbit later, that your skin's bubbling.

I would only add to this excellent and sensible summary of the state of affairs in the summer in NYC, that your skin doesn't so much bubble, and slough off you in great sticky gobs.  It's lovely.

9pm and it still reads 92* out.

At least we got rain this year.

Would be tolerable if we had a breeze with all this heat and rain though.....

ETA.... would be almost tolerable.....

California summers suck, along the coast.  It never gets above 80 F or so.

[Tank]

70f here with a cool breeze and sunny.

My front garden last winter.

[Heretical Rants]

I must say, I am not jealous of people who live in places that get hot...
though, last night I woke up because I was cold and had to put an extra blanket on.

Meh, I prefer blankets to having to deal with an AC.

It's expected to be almost 61 degrees here today.
(Why don't you use Celsius? I had to use a temperature converter and everything  )

61°F is a cool winter day where I live.
A warm summer day would be low 80s.
Latitude is about 31° South, and coastal.
Similar to San Diego latitude.
I regard it as a Goldilocks climate.

I miss the seasons.  Here in SoCal we only have two:  the wet season, and the dry season.

I'm about 45 miles from the coast here in Texas - humidity is evil, evil, evil.  Unfortunately I have to get out and do some yard work since the grass and limbs aren't going to cut themselves.  Later on I get to build an extension onto the carport for my folks...outside carpentry and July in south Texas are a horrible combination.

Around here, humidity usually makes it feel colder.

You poor thing.  I hope you have lots of cool refreshing sweet tea to help you along.    I remember being pregnant in southern Texas in July, man that sucked.  It was a constant struggle to stay within a few feet of an AC unit.
