Its 98degrees here in lower Michigan with 40% humility
Heat index is 104 degrees

I took my walk this morning around 9:00am and it was heating up
I am doing inside chores and brought my dog in too, although she "protests" her indoor confinement

This has nothing to do with heat and everything to do with environmentalists. build more power plants and you power problems will go away. Eco nuts won't let you...

I don't blame you, too funny

At least you were witty instead of rude, like some

You took your screen name from the fabulously brilliant lawyer/physician in "Stranger in a Strange Land". If your surrounded by beautiful women at all times like he was I'm extremely envious.

Back on subject: the nation seems to be suffering from a heat wave/drought that I suspect is more cyclic than global warming (tough luck, Al Gore). It was only ten years back that people were screaming that we were entering a new ice age.

California finds it more politically expedient to buy power from Arizona tah to generate its own. Though this works well most of the time, midsummer is when we need to keep all the power we can get.

I have two Siberian Huskies.

They don't like being inside either, but it's WAYYYYYY too hot and humid to leave them out for long right now.

Look at the bright side...in just a few months; the folks in Michigan will be complaining about their heating bills...just like the folks sweltering in New England today.

Yes, I just put my granddaughter's birthday cake in the oven when our power went out - for 2 hours!!

Luckily, I just left the oven door closed & the cake baked okay.

How's summer humidity, etc. in Arkansas? Wifey and I have that state (the southern part, I'd guess) on the short list for whenever we can retire out of California.

Speaking of heat, it was 118 here yesterday - I was able to barbecue our rack of baby back ribs with only one burner instead of two...!

the local media in Indiana is acting like 90+ in July is the end of the world
then somebody mentioned in 1930 something, there were 25 days in July over 90
