Yesterday's high was 73, sunny, blue skies. Today promises to be about the same. Days like this make enduring the winter all worthwhile.

We'll be in Colorado next week. Try to cool it down a bit before we get there, okay?

It was so bad, we finally broke down and got an air conditioner for my studio after 18 years of making do. It was an average of 15 degrees above historical temps here.

Today and the next few days are supposed to be cool and cloudy and man, not a minute too soon.

It hasn't done that in several years and I don't like it when it does.

I hate extreme heat. I'd far rather be cold, I can always put more stuff on. I've been soaking my hair and letting that cool me off most afternoons.

And temps in the high 90's.

The Deep South is horrible in August, and this feels like August already since it has been so hot already this year. I'd imagine we will have people stroking out by the end of July if we don't have heat warnings.

I ran out after the cat when she bolted. She's longhaired, indoor and old (15 years) and has no business outside.

I hit the concrete in the sun after "rescuing" miss Contessa the princess kitty and I could practically hear my feet sizzle.

It's HOT.

but it started cooling down yesterday and it is nice and cool now.


We had days in March when it hit 85. Then it was 95 for Memorial day and then we had 4 days in a row above 90 for the first day of summer.

Late July and early August may be a real issue if this trend continues.

but it's raining here just north of Seattle (LOL). It's been chilly and raining off and on all week. I kicked the thermostat up a few notches because we shampooed carpets this morning and they need to dry out. Now that that chore is done, I'm here at the 'puter with a pot of tea, just kickin' back. What are you guys in the heat doing today?

34. WTF????? Since when is it EVER 100F in the Springs????
Sat Jun 23, 2012, 05:37 PM
Jun 2012

That makes me ill just thinking about it - it's completely abnormal to EVER get that hot there. The entire 8 years I was in Ft Collins (and my folks were in the Springs) I think I saw a grand total of 3 nights (all in August) where a fan in the bedroom would have been nice, and daytimes were muggily uncomfortable (a tad over 90F).

Of course, we are having the third weirdly moderate June in a row here in Lost Angeles. Mid-80's for the next week still, then it MIGHT get up into the 90's. And this is the time of year when 115F+ is not unusual.

I'd rather be hot than cold any day. The fires here, though, are historical, beyond imagination. An entire city of 650k is watching the mountains burn. This has never happened before to my recollection. It's crazy.
