Golf courses are empty, so it’s great to be out in 90’s and playing golf in the evenings.

I wish I could score in the 90s
It really is the humidity. Dew point in the 70s all week. You do sort of get used to it. The most oppressive part is when you get a breeze that feels hotter than with no breeze.
Great swimming hole weather, though. These hot stretches are predictable, and are perfect for spending days in some cold water. Going camping on the river next week, and I'm hoping it stays warm and dry.
Wait it's hot outside in the summer? What will they think of next?
Holding endurance races in this kind of heat can be dangerous. Telling competitors to be careful can only do so much in preventing people from pushing too hard.

Another very pleasant day here in EWA. Doors and windows open, no need for the AC.Quote:

There's a reason rich people endured long travel to leave the city in the summer.
Been 105-110'F here in Phoenix for weeks. Can't wait to move somewhere cold.
103 degrees Frankenstein on the car's temperature gauge today.
I was in Cuba in May and it was hot and humid then even with a partially overcast day. I don't think I'd want to be there in July.Quote:

54 deg. cloudy and cool. I have a 5:00 PM tee time and hope it warms up a smidgen.
I was at a job site this morning where the rain from last night on the flat roof (bad idea # 1) had frozen solid to a 3/4 skating rink. The roofers we not amused.
Everyone moves here, few are natives. The old come here to dry out their bones before they die.Quote:

Anyway, there is a picture in there of horse shit piled about 5 feet high next to a sidewalk, like a brown snowbank. There was tons of that stuff collected and dumped in the river. Sanitation was still a bit spotty, though.Quote:

Excellent read; I had forgotten all about it until now. Recommended.Quote:

33 degrees this am, maybe a high of 76 today.
I'll take it!
You can go straight to hell. Just checked and we're currently hotter and more humid than New Orleans.Quote:
