Today has actually been tolerable. I think we sent the worst of it east for a while.

At 5PM it's 100 degrees, down from 103 earlier. The heat index will not drop very much overnight. I truly pray for those without A/C around here tonight.

Living in Florida I'm used to it. I work outside most of the time as well and always have.
I love it and it's no big deal to me. I don't mind a good sweat anyway. Don't get me wrong though. I like being comfortable in my home though.
My ac in my Jeep went out a few years back and I don't care to fix but I usually ride around topless/doorless anyway.
Most of my neighbors are from up north and I rarely see them outside.
But of course I'd do the same if I were ever up north in "real" cold weather.

Biloxi Blues!!! One of my most favorite and oft used quotes, lol. :D
I was actually looking for the quote from Good Morning Vietnam. I thought it was the above quote but I was wrong. The GMV quote is like "Hot. Hot and Wet." which it is not. Pretty accurate quote if you live in the Midwest, South and East.
This one? Another one of my faves! :D
What's the weather like out there? "It's hot! Damn hot! Real hot! Hottest things is my shorts. I could cook things in it. A little crotch pot cooking." Well, tell me what it feels like. "Fool, it's hot! I told you again! Were you born on the sun? It's damn hot! It's so damn hot, I saw little guys, their orange robes burst into flames. It's that hot! Do you know what I'm talking about?" What do you think it's going to be like tonight? "It's gonna be hot and wet! That's nice if you're with a lady, but ain't no good if you're in the jungle!"

I was waiting to hit 100, but we only got to 99. I was disappointed! Currently we are down to 88.

I've been walking about 3 miles every day since school got out and I'm getting really used to the heat. Although I have noticed as the heat goes up, I walk earlier in the morning. My daughter is a lifeguard and although wiped out at the end of the end of the day, she is also used to being outside. My husband, on the other hand, works in the Pentagon where the average temperature is 68 degrees. He's melting.....poor guy! :(


Maybe a degree or 2 higher today (yesterday it was 105) in our nation's capital (which was built on a swamp BTW)....... :-?

swizzlestick wrote:Ok, so it's officially 100 degrees right now in Bloomfield, CT, with a heat index of 106. At noon on one of our local TV stations, the weatherman tried to bake chocolate chip cookies inside a closed car for 20 minutes...they were partially baked when he took them out. He said the temp inside the car was something like 120 degrees. Yikes!!

...I say with a little bit of alcohol added to that cookie dough, they would have baked completely in 20 minutes! :lol:

Seriously, he was just trying to drive home the point of not leaving kids or pets in a hot car. [smilie=sad.gif]
i'm i little more in the country ( New Hartford , CT )....102 here on the Farmington River on Friday......Today the highest temp i saw here was 98!!

no idea here. just glad I have no interest in going to the Jazz and Ribfest downtown; too many people, not enough air, and hot humid temps.
