Damn

That's hot.


It hit 107 a bit later, but dropped back before I could get the picture.  I know that car thermometers tend to run hot because they're reading air heated by the sun-baked asphalt and the exhaust of the other cars.

But damn.  Everything's bigger in Texas, I guess.  Even the temperature.

You ain't seen nothin' yet...

Don't worry, there's only 4 or 5 more months of this before it cools off again :)

If you're wondering when you'll get used to it, you won't. I've lived here all my life and it hasn't happened yet. Just kind of "is what it is".

"actually summer"..that would be August.
A nice, chilly and humid 98.8 degrees here in Cypress. Where's my parka?

I managed to get sunburned on our way back south, but I don't think the thermometer ever got above 102° or so in the truck.

Psh! One of my company vehicles told me this as soon as I turned it on once, last summer.

Dude, put on a jacket before you freeze!! We wish it were that cool here in Arizona.

No, it is hot when that zero turns into a 1. It is damned hot when it turns into a 2.

Wow, that's almost as hot as the inside of a Washington DC ambulance!
