Going to be 106 here tomorrow and Thursday, 109 on Tuesday and Wednesday.
My niece and her husband moved to Portland Oregon about two years ago. They looked at two places to live. One was older, had lots of character but with no AC and the other was newer and more cookie cutter but with AC. They chose the newer place and are thanking God for that right now. And they were excited to get away from Charleston SC and it's heat.

She is an ER doc and said they are getting heat stroke patients in ER all day long.

It's crazy

They are doing a huge mall redevelopment in my neighbourhood… 10 highrises going in when its all said and done. 3 have been completed in the past year. “Amazing” looking buildings. I think all of them are over 40 storys

no a/c in any of them

Good news.

If you haven't watched it, I recommend it. He is an excellent story teller and you can tell he really enjoys the farmer life. Plus the additional people along the way are pretty awesome. Was way better than I was expecting.

I wont be able to watch some of the games so I am going to need someone to cheer for the Habs for me, I think @dash is the logical choice. He loves them. (PM me your mailing address so my wife can send you my lucky shirt for you to wear, its not washed because that will wash out the luck)

I was shooting hoops in east Baltimore yesterday and myself, a woman, and her child witnessed a murder. It sounded like the police were involved (bad police in Baltimore - suspend disbelief!) so a wounded good cop told me to get the woman and kid to safety. Turns out they are Amish so I have been holed up near Lancaster PA the last few days. No power no Wifi, I am posting this from the Lancaster library. There is a copy of Watership Down that is 9 years overdue. It's not all bad here. I saw the woman's boobs which was good, but shes a lesbian which is bad (for me). Theres a Russian dancer defector in the community too so he is pretty cool. We made potato vodka and drink it behind the silo. Oh well the buggy is calling for me, got a full afternoon of making butter and shucking corn ahead of me.

Enjoy everyone, go Habs!

But it snowed a lot last winter so I don't know if I believe in all this global warming stuff.
Isn't this kinda the same thing - "It's really hot so global warming must be real"?

I think everyone's better off if we keep an eye on long-term patterns instead of pointing to the sky and jumping up and down saying "SEE? SEE?!" anytime there's a weather event. Getting tiresome to hear everytime there's a thunderstorm that my neighbour's F-150 is responsible for it.

You mean like this?


/at least the "it's hot" anecdotes match scientific reality

Yes, like that. Far more helpful than shouting that Miami is gonna be underwater by 2006/2013/2019/2026/etc. Stop giving people things to point at and shout “see? You were wrong then and you’re wrong now!”.
