Yup. We've been having low 100's w/ a heat index of 108. Couple years ago we had a week of so of 114 degrees. Your eyes melt :(

"With a load of iron oars 20,000 tons more than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty..." I remember looking up the words of that song for a friends one time, that's the ship that sunk in on of the Great Lakes, right?
I love Gordon Lightfoot's stuff!

Nah... I think they are just used for dropping and retrieving lobster pots... Doesn't lend itself to epic poetry cycles...

Now, see, THAT'S what I call "too hot"; when you have heat plus humidity. Out in the California deserts it can top 115, but it's dry enough that it's tolerable, and it cools off when the sun goes down. You toss in 80%+ humidity and tolerable is out the window. And you can just about forget the part about cooling off; it'll swelter all night long with the moisture in the air retaining the heat.

Yeah, that's something like I figured - I think the thing with humidity is, evapouration is a lot slower, thus sweating won't cool you down.

Yep.
The Great Lakes are really just fresh water seas with rip currents and the whole bit. If you ever get over this way drop me a line and I will show you around. It's some of the prettiest land on earth.

Doesn't lend itself to epic poetry cycles... It could years ago, when it was the only way to survive, today - fishermen, like farmers, are subsidised, or/and have also 'landlubber' jobs, so there isn't even the drudgery to write about!!

Fans aren't very effective with humidity, either - I dunno about those A/Cs, though.

The Great Lakes are really just fresh water seas with rip currents and the whole bit. I can imagine - the shear size of those lakes!

I'll do that - you know I'm a big fan of that stuff!! :)

Ja, and if those two brothers Grimm were getting started in today's culture they'd call themsleves "Da Grimm Rapper".
