AS dry as everything is I hope people use good sense with fireworks.

My yard crunches when you walk on it

Clarksville banned 'em this year. Probably a wise choice.

...but it's a dry heat

So is the surface of the sun.

Aww stop whining, be glad you don't live on Venus. It's 700+F, the barometric pressure is 1500. PSI, and it rains sulfuric acid. Well at least they are getting some rain.

And on a sunny day, you can see the back of your head. (refraction of CO2)

My son, who is an hour south of Atlanta, said it was 105 with the "feels like" temperature being 120. I know on Kingston pick as we drove back home the temperature gauge showed 107 degrees.

The only thing making it even barely bearable is the fact we have a very low humidity. If it were to rain there would be people dropping like flies. But even so people need to drink, and definitely not alcohol, if they are going to be outside. And water alone may not be enough.

This is the hottest I can remember. And who wants to be the first to kick Al Gore in the nuts for introducing the idea of global warming to mother nature.

It was 113 in Soddy Daisy on Saturday. It's 108 now and it's just 1:15. I ustacould work in this heat but it's killing me now. I didn't shoot in a Cowboy match last week because the heat index was 103. That's a first for me.

And this is what our brothers and sisters have to put up with every day over in the sandbox.

I rather have them put up with the heat over there than IED's..

I was talking to my dad this weekend, who, like many octogenarians and WWII vets, grew up on a farm. I asked him if he remembered them having summers this hot, and he said of course they did, but since they had no a/c, they didn't know the difference. They also took baths only once or twice a week, but everyone had the same lifestyle, so that was the norm. We're all used to climate control indoors, so that's why the heat feels much warmer than it really is and why everyone makes such a big deal out of it.

feels good

Only for people who are really, really old.

Just think it can always be worse. Everyone drink fluids and watch out.
