Same here in NC. It's dangerous, this weather. I wanted to do some yard work and it's a no-go.

I’d pay to be back in either location.  I can’t remember the last time that it’s been below 100 here during the day.  It’s so bad that when it starts to get dark and it gets down to 98 it feels ‘good’.

That ain’t no lie. Years ago while working in Texas over the summer I would run at 5:00 AM to avoid the heat. At that time in the morning it was only in the low to mid 80s.

Anyone on water restrictions around these parts?

Looks like we have a cold spell coming in next Monday.

Holy crap is Maurice Jones-Drew humongous.  He definitely hasn’t missed too many meals since he retired.

You say that and don't post a link? 

My husband called him a 'short round' last season. Lol.

Yeah MoJo is looking well fed.

This is fascinating. A firsthand account of the final hours and execution of Louis XVI.

Oh you know the sassy faff cropdusts their friends as they bend down for a sip from the watering hole.

That was fascinating.  Louis XVI was amazingly incompetent.  He could have easily survived as monarch, but he was oblivious to what was going on in France at the time.

I’m so [BLEEP] sick of this [BLEEP].  And there’s no end in sight.  And I have to work in this crap three days a week.  I’ve never drunk so much water in my life.

Dating is collecting information about someone until you realize you don't like them.............

Sorry dude. It's let up here in NC. Hopefully for good. A big storm came through Monday night and the forecasted temps changed for the better and hopefully they stay. I've been here since June 2011 and in that time the heat and humidity has never been this bad for this long.

Today felt weird with the temperature at 90+ but humidity at 39% and dew point at 62°. It was still hot but suffocating. I'm not fond of feeling waterboarded every time I go outside.

Hopefully things settle for y'all soon.
