It's hotter than HELL here!

[AppleBiter]

Right now, in the good 'ole land of Oz, it is 97 degrees outside. I have no air conditioning, so in my house it is 82 degrees. I am ROASTING in here. I love warm weather, but this is ridiculous. I'm sweating buckets . . . and not in a good way. Ugh!! Unrelenting heat will kill a good mood.

Currently one hundred six fucking degrees. I have air conditioning, though. It's necessary for survival. Having had it die on me multiple times during the summers, I sympathize.

I do love the way the weather service has for stating the obvious for those to stupid to notice.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS CONTINUING AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING UNTIL 8 PM MST/PDT TONIGHT FROM 10 AM UNTIL 8 PM MST/PDT BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY FOR THOSE OF YOU IN MARICOPA COUNTY...NORTHWEST AND NORTH-CENTRAL PINAL COUNTY...YUMA COUNTY...LA PAZ COUNTY...AND THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER VALLEY PORTION OF IMPERIAL AND EASTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTIES. THE COMBINATION OF VERY HOT TEMPERATURES AND LOW HUMIDITY COULD POSE A HEALTH HAZARD...ESPECIALLY TO THE VERY YOUNG...THE ELDERLY...AND THOSE OF YOU OUTDOORS.

You must be up north somewhere. Count yourself lucky remember it's winter! Imagine what it was like in January. It's a bit cooler now in Sydney about 22 celsius (70 F) which is ok after a summer that went on for 7 months.

You bitch.

Be smug while you can. In a few days I'll be headin' your way & I plan on packing the heatwave and taking it with me. It'll be a weddin' gift.

I'd love to freeze my ass off. It's now 107. Can you hear mother nature mocking me?



Ish, I don't know about Apple, but personally it's worse when it's that fucking hot and it's winter. Again, mother nature mocks.

107 that is just not normal !! Someone's been playing with your thermostat.

Our current temperature is somewhere similar to Vella's. I went for a walk along the shore this evening in sandals, jeans and a fleece jacket. Zipped up to the neck against the biting wind. But the sun was shining, the sky was blue. Nice.

You're right. It's not normal. It's not supposed to get that hot for another two weeks or so.

Well that settles the question of whether I'll ever be paying you a visit.

No.

Anything over 70Deg is on a par with pergatory for me. Honest.

You can visit. Just come in February. You'd be amazed how many poor souls come in winter and immediately decide to move here. It doesn't matter if you warn them first. They have witnessed a winter haven in person and the hell of summer is still an abstract concept at that point.

Sounds like a possible.

Youngest sprog is taking 4 months out of work, starting end of October, to do a 5-stop world trip, with a buddy (Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, USA). He'll be finishing up in Las Vegas (I have no idea why, just the pre-set places on the ticket) and staying there for a couple of weeks before flying back home, so Mat is thinking of an early holiday next year and flying to the west coast this time to spend some time with him, and taking in one or two stops on the way.

Definite things to think about.

Relax, take it easy. Go soak a T-Shirt & turn on a fan.

I've done 4 years in Phoenix with no AC, no heat. (No evap cooler either other than the wet T-shirt business...)

(It does get a little difficult when the inside temperature won't drop below 100 degrees until after 2am--but, on the bright side, you've got 'til 5:30am before it begins to heat up again.)

Every time I think about complaining, I just remember the natives over a hundred years ago... (course the lucky bastards didn't have all this concrete soaking up the heat for the convenient slow overnight release...)

PS: Cold showers are good too--OK, so I'm a wimp in little ways.

The governement located the Arizona Territorial Prison in Yuma, which is not all that far from Phoenix. The temperature in Yuma was considered to be part of the punishment.

Shhhit! You found me out... Keep it to yourself or they'll be on to me in no time. You don't realize how long it took me to jurry rig this 300 baud connection out of a broken cell phone hack with only a spoon and, <ack> personal favors... Anybody want to bake a 17" monitor into a cake for me? The only thing that's easy to get in Joe's hotel is cocaine and marijuana.

Close to 200 miles between Yuma & Phoenix, idn't it? Not all that far is really a matter of perpective.

It's hotter'n hell there, too, though.

You're right about the concrete in your earlier post, Op. It may seem unimaginable, but nights here were cool once upon a time. Back when there were two freeways and actual empty space between some of the cities. *sob*

No rest for the wicked. Hotter'n Hell in eastern Oklahoma today as well. Consumed 1 quart of coffee, 2 quarts of water, 1 quart of Gatorade, 1 Diet Coke and I'm now on my eigth beer and I'm sober. Beer is not the right way to hydrate yourself, but fuck it.

Yeah, it was a dry cool.

Remember Big Surf? I was reminiscing with a friend about the opening of Big Surf back in the 70s: he and his surfer buddies drove out from LA to check it out. He said they were kind of freeked standing in line to get in watching the wax melt and drip off of their surf boards.

Sometimes hard to imagine how we ran around barefoot all summer.

Remember it? I drive past it every day on my way to work.

Not the same as in its glory days, though. It seems so quaint now to think of what a grand concept it was in its time.

I don't know how we did it, but I think one of my mother's favorite phrases prolly sums it up: No brains, no feelings.
