How hot is it?

My cousin Max, who lives in Pennsylvania sent me this today. He says it would be funny, if it wasn't true.

I T I S S O H O T T H A T . . .
The birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
The trees are whistling for the dogs.
The best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
Hot water now comes out of both taps.
You can make sun tea instantly.
You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
The temperature drops below 95 and you feel a little chilly.
You discover that in July it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
You discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
You actually burn your hand opening the car door.
You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and I cook to death?"
You realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter, salt and pepper.
Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.
The cows are giving evaporated milk

Mulan, these have always been standard in Texas, particularly east Texas (where it's humid as well as hot):

This is what I am currently enduring. Over 104F plus humidity for a week now and smog alerts. It 'cools' down to mid 30s C at night. (80-90sF)

I'm pretty much at the end of my wits. Can't do anything. I've hosed the dogs and me - with the warm water out of the hose. In Atlantic Canada we are not use to this extreme weather. It's happened for three summers in a row now - so next year I'm getting an air conditioner.

I just hope my daughters and I don't kill each other before this weather breaks. Oh yeh.. that would require energy. hahaha..... migraines, heat cramps and growing gills is the order of the day, er, I mean week.

But thanks for the list. I'm gonna print this one off. There is humor in almost everything

Yes Mike, we all know that the fashionista is too hot to trot! Move outa the way! Hot stuff comin through ..... ah, wait.... flaming bright clothes coming through!

A man was seen in New York today wearing flames of color for clothing. When asked why he did this, his reply was "Tsk! Sigh. YOU don't know Chelsea boys very well do you! WE heat this town up - way up. Gawd - THAT'S why it's 240 degrees here today! "

Just a guess. Anyhow -

hugs, Mimilly

This is the time I am glad I live in the Pacific Northwest. It's been GLORIOUS her for over a month. Highest was 91, one day last week, and then it's not gotten over 80 the rest of the time. Sunny, and just fabulous. A little marine air, off of Puget Sound, and light breeze. Fabulous.

My cousin, who sent me that list, said his lawn is so brown he doesn't have to mow, for about two months now. He walks on it and it breaks right off.

Our grass is green and lush (we water). I go out in the afternoons and sit under the Golden Chain tree, for shade, and have a latte. (our friends in Florida bought us a deluxe espresso/latte machine). I don't go to the stands anymore. I make mine better and much cheaper.

Mimilly

Mulan - hmmmmmmmm.... do you have room for one more The weather here is supposed to last well into next week. It's made me sick. Literally. So really.... teehee... do you have room for one more?

love Mimilly (of the sucking up but honest about it class )

Ain't life great, Mulan? My daughter came over this afternoon and we drank sun-tea on the front porch. Sunny, with a cool breeze, just perfect.

No matter how hot it gets (and that 91 degree day was up there) it always cools off at night. Could be that's why it costs so bloody much to live here??

Loving it,

Wasa

Mulan

Yep! We eat on the deck all the time. It has an Eastern exposure, which is just perfect for late afternoon. Love it here.

Mimilly

OK... Now you two are rubbing it in, whilst I sit here sucking or munching on ice cubes (even lost some pounds - a postive side effect)

Hmmmmmmmmmm? Can I join you both? Can I try your espresso Mulan? Or experience the 90 degree weather? Hmmmmmmmmmm?

Come on now ladies.... don't be messin with a crazy canuck bordering on lunatism!

Sigh. But I still love you both... come here... lemme give you both a great big sweaty hug.

btw - I wear Pure Blanc Perfume by avon. Only stuff I can wear, and I don't stink in the heat - so all you ladies get out of the hug is sweat.... ahahhahhahhahhahaha... see? Insanity! I told ya!
