It was 98 here today. Wait, isn't it just May?
I was sweating outside at 9pm, with no shirt.

I remember the difference between AM and PM by saying After Midnight and Pefore Midnight.

West of Denver, Colorado, at about 7,800 feet ASL. But there's very little snow left right here. The trails I was referring to are a little higher up.

I wouldn't have pictured you knowing either one of those tunes, Bri. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

LOL! after our "cave girl" discussion (in which my friends insisted I MUST have a cape--even just a little one--with wings); my friend said she had bizarre dreams about flying around her house nekkid!

You'd be surprised at what I know ;)

It's a perfectly seasoned 68 degrees here in oHIo land. Tis rare indeed that we have nice weather. I get panicky at 78 degrees. Our summers are like being in a sauna----hot, humid, sticky and they piss you off.

Well I know she is close to my age and from what I remember there was not much else on the radio and nothing but Wild Kingdom and Walt Disney on tv so.

Those would be my reasons for knowing those songs. Not like I am projecting on a generation or anything. :o

And then there was that whole movie about that guy...who was it...oh yeah, Johnny Cash. :p

freeway in the next town over was closed yesterday for 8 hours all the way to the Arizona border.

For WIND and BLOWING DUST.

The price we pay for having good weather the rest of the year, I guess.

I'm not dreading the heat this year. Being 4 stone down on last year helps, as does not having to commute. And also this year I've gone all girly and it's all about light coloured clothes, floaty dresses, skirts and sandals.

I feel I am prepared.

Be prepared to put up with complaints I am melting however. I predict a hot one and my sanguine attitude will desert me!

"A Feeling of Thread" anyone?
:)

El Paso was Marty Robbins' song.

she's talking about Ring of Fire, tho'

I was talkin' 'bout both of 'em.


Ever see Steve Martin's take on El Paso? HIlarious!

Damm good question.

My dad used to strum on an acoustic and sing that song along with ghost riders in the sky. That is a really good memory but then we're talking about dread.

How about this.

I am at a point in my life where I think my major tribulations are over. I might get a fatal disease and fight like hell but then I will be only taking care of myself.

It's like a mid life crisis without the crisis. I am adrift, bored, happy and blessed all at the same time. When you live with stress for so long that it becomes the norm and then it wanes practically in the space of a year now one's body still wants to get in that stress mode but it has no problem to focus on. I have no place to go. I have both paddles in my canoe and no road map.

so there's my dread...or my anti dread. I am going to take a class next fall so I have something to do during my work shift. That's all I know the future is a blank. What if it's really good? :eyebrow:

Been livin with that feelin for weeks now, no matter how I try to convince myself otherwise.

The heat is still coming on here. It was 34° this morning, but I think it's starting to warm up. At least the rain is pushing off the fire danger.

it's coming! we've been lucky so far this spring, but it's officially a/c weather now.

It was 25 degrees here today. 10 in the morning, and 15 in the afternoon.

is that dreadful?

72 and rainy here today. It'll be 95 and humid soon enough though, and stay that way until september. July and August are when I really wish my car had air conditioning.

Cloud: Has the temp. hit the 90's for you yet? It is now 90 degrees for us...ugh! Give it some more time and it will get more and more humid. Then it will be truly dreadful. :thepain:

It reaches 95 degrees there? How come cars don't have a/c if it gets that hot over there?

99 degrees today. time to change my routine a bit--wake up earlier and go out earlier; hibernate in the middle of the day--go out at night

this is sucking, even for Ohio.

been in the upper 80's all last week and now all this coming week. :( Sucks! Hot and heavy and humid and makes you just want to shoot people.

Beautiful weather for pool opening day :D We're all a little sunburned though....

Quoted for truth. Even in MD.

I don't think I can take it. I can't take 4 more months of being fucking HOT. I'm going to go insane!

so move north!

It's stupid hot here too.

But this is why we invented air conditioning. What I can't figure out is how we never had AC in school when I was a kid and we didn't die.

Because they let us out in the summer.

'swet here. very wet. wetter than a wet thing in the wet season. Even my duck is pissed off about it.

Forecast for next week:

Sat. 106
Sun. 109
Mon. 104
Tues. 104
Wed. 106
Thur. 101
Fri. 99

fuck. I'm melted already.

Our hot season does not start for another few weeks.

Then we get the same treatment.

Thank God I will be on vacation for at least two of them.

Can't beat cloud, but here are our coming temps:

90
94
92
90
88

I live in the high desert, so we don't have much humidity, but believe me, it still feels plenty hot and we have at least 3 solid months to go. I HATE it! Keeping my fingers crossed that my old AC will work when I plug it in tomorrow.

If people could hibernate, I'd do it in the summer. In the winter I can just put on lots of warm clothes and be OK. In the summer I could walk around naked and still be too hot. :greenface

Oh, I do hibernate as much as possible. I get very little done during the summer because I just can't stand to be out in it. Stay in during the day, keep the fans running on me everywhere I can, scurry out in the early morning or late evening to do chores. Keeping in mind I'm fat and menopausal, I really suffer.

I think I'm gonna get me one of these little gadgets:

A week of rainfall, ankle high, we will enjoy a heat wave up to 71 tomorrow. I suspect people will be in the pool enjoying brief sunshine.

I will not get in the pool until it hits 80. Who knows when that will happen. *snuggles down further in my fluffy robe*

supposed to have a heat index of Over 100 here for the next 2 days ,
tomorrow ( Well in the am when i get up ;)) cut grass , then live in the WallyMarto inflato pool

now that's an idea . . . I wonder if I could fit a tiny one on my porch. With a shade.

We hit 110 today and broke our record!

White School Glue is really good for fixing records. Epoxy is awesome, but not so neat.

quit sniffing it, then!

I would take hot over snow anyday.

Tonight's forecast:
"Rain showers and snow showers likely together with isolated thunderstorms in the evening...then a slight chance of rain and snow after midnight."

Cheer up, summer's only a week away.
