I haven’t mowed grass once this month. That’s kinda rare for a Michigan July.

Summer....It was a great time....sprinklers served us well.
WE DIDN'T HAVE AIR CONDITIONING....just huge wonderful dutch elms which shaded the houses and windows with cross breezes.

Bottom Line:
God says let there be heat and humidity, and there is not a damn thing we can do about it.
Even Al Gore.

It rained for a few minutes, a few days ago. The dogs were confused and wondering if I had turned on the sprinkler.Same here. It rained about 15 minutes. Hubby woke up mad thinking I'd turned on the sprinklers.

The heat is just reaching the east coast. Prepare for whining and the lamentations of their women.How will we tell the difference..? .Seriously: I'm in Western Maine, up in the mountains today and it's 92°. Uggh.

Well we don’t consider Maine to be the east coast. At least not most of it.

Perhaps it is time for Crocodile Dundee to show Great Lakes fisherman to use explosives to fish and get more moisture in to the air to form rain clouds. ;-)

Until they fell on the house in a storm.....

Like when the “heat” in Chicago caused all that violence at the beaches a couple of months ago?

A claustrophobia-inducing greenhouse of heat and sadness, I hereby declare this article a nausea-inducing jumble of pseudo-science and drama.

Aside from Portland, Maine is pretty conservative, at least by regional standards. The moonbats have indeed made a mess of things here as elsewhere. I’m stunned how bad the economy is here, even compared to last year...

That compressed, sinking air keeps clouds from forming, giving the sun--which is at its highest angle this time of the year--free rein to do its worst. The sun in Liz Goodwin's world.
Bad, Sun! BAD!

"Warmer air is thicker than colder air so it's actually a literal dome," Bull.
Air density, from highest to lowest:
Cold, dry air
Cold, moist air
Warm, dry air
Warm moist air
More dense=thicker, and thicker (more dense air) seems easier to breathe because there is more oxygen per unit volume.
Must be their science writer at it again.

It's not just hot! You forgot the
sadness.

I was watching show about Maine “How the states got their shapes” on the history channel. I love Michigan but I’d definitely like to visit rural Maine.
Michigan and Maine are similar in a lot of ways. Liberal cities with conservative rural areas. I believe the largest congressional district east of the Mississippi is in Maine, the second Largest is Michigan’s 1st district.

Now imagine what it will be like if the EPA has its way and dozens of coal plants are shut down. No power - no AC whatsoever.

This phenomenum is not man-made. Things were just as bad during the Medieval Sad Period.
