Hey friend. Hope you’re doing better. Haven’t seen you post in a while.

It’s Summer, if you hadn’t noticed.

[MediaMole]

It’s the perfect day to tour a foundry on business. ...and that’s just what I’ll be doing.

[MountainDad]

Yep. Was 100+ in Omaha today. I was over a hot diesel engine changing out a throttle pedal system, sweating my a$$ off.

Then I remembered our military people in the middle-east putting up with the 120 degree plus heat, and thought, "I don't have much to complain about!"

Look for even more gun play in Chicago this weekend. Those folks don’t have a/c. (what...no obama air conditioners?)

[Rushmore Rocks]

It was 109 here in Rapid City, SD yesterday. Broke all kinds of records. Cooler today, only 89.

[crusty old prospector]

The big difference is that it will go back into the 80’s soon for you, my good man. Down here in Texas, that is the forecast everyday until Labor Day. Unless we get some tropical storm, which just makes the humidity unbearable. Down here, the more you get off the couch and do something, the more you get used to it. Go out and live the dream!

105 Mon, 105 Tues,and 103 today here.

Currently 86

Indy here. The weather is pleasant tonight as we sit on the porch. I will let you know how we feel tomorrow.

Our house usually stays cooler if the windows are kept shut during the hot day. Unless it is intolerable, we do not run the central air. We will have to keep the outside cats watered tomorrow.

[Bronzy]

“...but it will remain quite hot right on through the Holiday.”

Being in the city, heat and holidays don't mix in the hood.

[meyer]

Yeah, we’re looking at 100+ across KY, TN, MO, and south tomorrow.

This afternoon, I ran 5 miles, but that was when it was only 83 degrees. I have a 5K race to run Sunday. Thankfully, it’s going to be in the morning before the heat sets in.

You can bet Bath-House Barry’s ecstatic-—his regs on coal plants will NECESSARILY make utilities skyrocket.

Cook the youth that support his “election”—make ‘em hot and angry. (Good thing that reg about wheelchair access for public pools was postponed!)

[AFreeBird]

Of course. Florida took all our rain and gave us the Heats. I’ll gladly trade them.

It’s all Øbama’s fault!

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

It’s hot during summer??? That’s news to me. Panic!!!!

[Dysart]

That damn High pressure cap which has engulfed much of the S,SW and MW is expected to retreat westerly somewhat in the next couple of days. The problem here in DFW is that we see these 100+ degree days sometimes for weeks and weeks, instead of an occasional spike as many do across the fruited plain. It's the relentlessness of the oppressive heat that makes people and wildlife crazy and desperate.

I caught a jumper today trying to escape the heat! A juvenile, pre-fledgling Mockingbird in my Live Oak tree couldn't take it anymore and he and his siblings abandoned their nest which is about 15' high and not well shaded. Unfortunately I arrived home and found two dead in the driveway directly under the nest. Noticed the last one hanging upside down by a claw, so I waited.. and waited...finally he let go and I caught him as he plunged. Set him in the back in the shade of hedges and he seem to like that much better. Momma and Daddy located him and resumed his care and feeding.

It's going to be a long Summer.

When I was a kid in NE Ohio I recall one of the best $5 I ever spent was on a box fan at a garage sale.
Ohio has some hot spells, but they don’t last long.

[mamelukesabre]

Hopefully this means july will be unseasonably cool. Hopefully.

Huntington Beach, CA

High 72, Low 60,

plus a very conservative House Rep.

[SamAdams76]

Six months ago, we were surprisingly cold. Now we are surprisingly hot. I predict that in six months, we will all be cold once again.

Hot, then cold. Hot, then cold again. When will nature make up its mind?

[johnthebaptistmoore]

GEORGE W. BUSH’S FAULT! I had to get “that” out of my system.
