You certainly have more heat out there than we do here - I have been to Phoenix in July. I don't think you have the humidity that we do but the temps out there are enough.
This degree of heat is very unusual for us in this area. We usually top out in the mid-90's - triple digits are rare for us. At this hour, we're down to 85 degrees, but the humidity is 64%. For an old, asthmatic geezer like me, this is tough to take. Luckily, we did not lose power as a result of the storm last Friday night. There are many here with power still out. The Boy Governor made a total fool of himself blaming the power company for not restoring power quickly enough. BGE had significant damage to its sub-stations and heavy transmission lines.
As I mentioned, we are extremely lucky we did not lose power. I was a heat casualty in 'Nam and I would have had to go to a cooling center or ER had we lost power. I look forward to Monday or Tuesday when we slip back down into the mid 80's - a piece of cake, even for me. In the meantime, I gladly cede to you the distinction of living in America's blast oven.
Hope things are going well with you - I've been out of touch lately due to heavy hours at work. I thought I heard something about a new grandchild - congratulations to you and the proud parents!
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
