Tomorrow is supposed to be much hotter and sunny.

Today was overcast and muggy but manageable.

The chicken died from a virus, and the two cars burnt the garage and house down, with overheating batteries.

Peak Load Shaving should include:

Jails, Prisons, Washington D.C. Federal Buildings (no AC in DC; LOL), all non-citizens and public housing facilities AC turned off.......

That would be a start....

OK, OK! As long as she is born female! I can’t wait! ROFL

Wait, now. What if she had her boobs lopped off and her vag shaped into a penis.
You still game?

We have actually had a warm summer, nothing near hot, but we do get the humidity. Nothing near our hottest in my 70 years here.

If they run short of electricity, they should turn off electric to all DOJ, FBI, Dept of ED, Dept of Interior, CIA, EPA and all other Fed agencies ... they have Smart meters so it could be done easily.

Well they could add more coal.... oops we don’t use coal to produce electricity, then turn on more natural gas... oops we don’t use natural gas to produce electricity, then open the valves on the dam to spin the generators...oops we torn out dams producing electricity, then we could pull out the rods at the nuclear power plant.... what? Now no more nuclear power plants! Guess it’s time to bend over and kiss your a$$ goodbye.....

It’s all Trump’s fault. EV’s are the kryptonite that’ll stop this fiend! He fights for Truth, Justice, the American Way, and other pernicious racist stuff.

Fewer power plants and more electric vehicles should solve this problem. At least that’s what the greenies tell me.

And millions and millions more people swarming across our borders and using our resources is supposed to be a good thing too. According to the Biden Gang, anyway.

Global Climate Emergency Lockdown....

Stay Inside Until You Are Told It Is Safe To Come Outside...

If your Credit Score is high enough, you may be allowed 10 minutes outside.

They’re used to hot humid weather.

Pull their plugs.

The heatwave of 2023 isn’t in the ballpark of past US heatwaves like 1936.

Well, I’m with you on the pool and the lake (if swimming is allowed), but picnics with a heat index over 100 deg. F?
(Typical in August in the mid-South USA)

Ugh!!

“Prepare Generators”: Largest US Power Grid Declares Emergency Alert For Second Day

We did so much swimming even temp of 100 + wouldn't hamper our picnic. Mom always made us wait a half hour or so before going into the water again though. She always knew a day of hard play like that would put us all to bed early as we sure were bushed once home. Fortunately our home was a 5 bedroom Victorian house that would stay cool when opened up at night.

Today is brutal at 101 real feel and plenty of humidity. Went for a Big Mac lunch and noted the air sucks the wind out of you.

That's true, having a lake / pond / pool / stream to jump into makes at least a 20 degree difference. Or a garden hose to spray about. A little shade and a breeze and you're in business. :-)

Today we had clear skies and a Heat Index of 110 deg. I was working some outside, but took breaks every half hour, and hit my custom lemonade hard. At 11 pm our heat index was still 92 deg. "Air you can wear" (but who wants to?) And this is mild compared to further southwest, tho' Dallas, TX, is not all that much worse (Heat Index of 95 @ 11 pm.)
