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?

I flew into Phoenix Friday afternoon.  It was 115 when I walked out the airport.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

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.

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

Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

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.

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.
