I can remember growing up in Rhode Island and we didn't have A/C becasue basically it was like 3 weeks that you need it. God those 3 weeks were long though. I can remeebr waking up and my sheet felt like someone had wrapped me up in a wram paper towel to sleep in. You would literally peel it off yourself in the morning.

Im going to the Riverwalk in San Antone and Fiesta Tx,Im sure its going to be hot as hell walking around the amusement park,will probably spend most of the time at the waterpark.
Going camping in a week at the lake.We always go camping in the heat,but we always do it at a lake and we have a/c.My wife and kids sleep in the camper and I set up a large tent outside and sleep in it,but the tent is air conditioned

My family from south Alabama reguarly experience heat much higher than this, but the difference is that they don't have the high humidity like we always have around here. My friend from College was from Arizona. He said 110 was nothing because it was so dry. Also some nights people would run their fireplaces/heat because it would get so cold at night. Crazy....

Correction: The humidity at 7:00 for BWI was 80% and at Dulles 90%

It's like swimming in boiling water.

At the moment, technically, I think we are being subjected to Global Broiling.

Heat index of 95 already this morning when I walked out of the house at 7:45. Steamy is an understatement.

At 8:00 pm last night some friends came over and we played corn hole. Even after 8 it was still hot as hell and I was still sweating at 10:00. One of my buddies was working in the hull of a ship and he said he drank 2 gallons of water and still did not pee until he got home.

This Bud's for you! =)


I am just letting mine grow, which it is not growing, just turning to hay.

I've always loved being from DC, and a big part of that is you really get the best (or worst depending on how you look at it) of all four seasons. It's amazing to think- I've seen plenty of days in the winter where we have single digit temperatures. I even remember a few occasions where it was below zero. And today the heat index is 117. Amazing that from winter to summer we have triple digit variances.

It's so freaking gross outside right now.
