I can attest to the truth of this. It’s one of the hottest days I can ever remember in these parts.
Back of my neck gettin dirty and gritty. Although, actually, I’ve got one of these.

Previously a lifelong Democrat, born in New York and living in New England, surrounded by liberals on all sides, I've found myself slowly but surely

Hang in there, Dear Heart, it was a trial when it came through California since it was not only hot but a tropical storm around Baja was pumping in moisture which we don’t deal with very well.
I like your scarf; I was using a more manly wet gym towel and hydrating like a yuppie with stock in a designer water company.

I grew up in southern Georgia without air conditioning. Im not positive why we didnt have air, but i think my Dad noticed that when the neighbors across the street finally got air their kids were never seen outdoors again. Somehow i dont remember it all as particularly oppressive and uncomfortable. Poor kids today may never discover the awesome sounds one can make by screaming through moving window fan blades!

I live in Bilbao (Spain) and this is one of the hottest summers…ever
Ok, but Al Gore cartoons warned us of global warming!

Summertime and the liv’n is not easy without a very good air conditioner.

I always thought this post title was self-evident. But, anyway, I wish you speedy relief from the heat wave.

Neo, those “Cool tubes” have been very popular for some years now down this way - my wife especially liked using hers when playing tennis mid summer. Oh, BTW they are very cheap to make - the crystals are (I believe) the same as those used to stop pot-plants from going too dry too quick…
Be careful - you can get quite a nasty “burn” if you freeze one and then put it on straight from the freezer (experience :-O )

I feel for you, Neo. I’ve been through East Coast high humidity heat waves before and they’re no fun.
We in Eastern New Mexico were nearly 20 degrees cooler than y’all today! Who’d a thunk it?

But its a dry heat.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.

-ain’t we all just sweltering. Al Gore could have stopped all of this you know if only Bush hadn’t stolen the election. Hanging chads = hot weather, it is quite simple really.

We had a heat index of 110 in Philly yesterday. Ugh. I grew up in So. Calif. I am just not used to this stuff. Now I can really appreciate the difference between dry heat and this icky humidity. I’ve become a recluse in my (wonderfully) air-conditioned apartment.

Caveman notice hot weather times–called it summertime. Stay in cave to keep cool. Come out at night to party.
Who this Al Gore? ‘nother caveman?

Mugg, for heaven’s sake! You don’t know the inventor of the internet, Al Gore? The man has hugged more spotted owls and petted more whales than you can count and you haven’t heard of him!??

“But its a dry heat.” I figured somebody’d say that.
No (I reply), it’s a hot heat.
(I can’t help waiting for Ed McMahon to ask, innocently, “How hot …. is it?”)

Don’t know of neo is hot, but Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter sure are. Hubba hubba.

I’m cooler in AZ. Sorry for the suffering in Beantown.

I say, “Told you so,” for all those who said Global Warming was nothing.
