    I looked up some of your cities, and most aren't going to break 100 today.  

    We are going to hit 112 today on my lovely patch of the sun. (Phoenix)



    Yeah....Phoenix is only a quarter mile from the sun.

    Regardless, I will take the heat over the "Polar Vortex" any day.  Besides, if your fridge is working and properly stocked, those cold beers seem much better in this weather.

    I only say this half jokingly but I'm thinking of getting one of those big misting fans for my patio like you see at the football games.  Maybe that would keep me cool. 
    I seen this yesterday and thought it may be nice for our party on the 4th.  You can hook it straight to a hose.

    @theyolksonyou   You know, people always say that "it's a dry heat".

    I tell them to stick their head in their oven and see if they notice the humidity...



    Folks from Arizona don't last long around here. Humidity is no joke.

    I've spent time in your neck of the woods, and I hear you.  And truth be told, I'll take 112 dry over 95 wet any day.

    When it gets too hot for me, I just try and remember what shoveling snow and wind chill factors.

    I agree. My first trip to Phoenix many years ago and the temps reaching 112 or maybe more.  We said, at least it is a dry heat.  Upon my return I told everyone, it was damn hot!  I don't care what the humidity was.    I do think humidity makes you feel worse in lower warm temps.  Like 80 - 95 with high humidity is much worse than in the same range with low humidity.

    @Jeepster47 My Grandfather on my Mother's side used to deliver large blocks of ice for cooling in Nebraska back in the dark ages. Home HVAC sure has come a LONG ways. 
    On our trip to Cambodia these long blocks of ice are still used to keep food safe for travelers that venture out of the city into the remote villages. Oh and yes that is the delivery truck open air 103 the day I took this pic.

    Try sticking your hand into a 250º oven and then into 250º steam. You will see that the dry heat is more tolerable than the humid heat. 

    Actually kids, please don't really do either! Just trying to make a point.

    Our advantage, at midnight it will be 80 here, in Phoenix it will still be 100. Never got used to that when I was out there for work.

    We are finally getting a break here in S. OH. We have two Welsh Corgis, they do not do heat well. In this weather it is out the door to do their business then back in. If hubby gets them for a walk it is just to the corner and back.

    Our Vet told us one time that due to their coats and heritage we really needed to keep the AC at 68 degrees. Ah, no. But during this weather they just lay around a lot...one of them will lay over the vent in the bedroom and be in heaven!

    You folks are making me home sick but not for the heat and humidity. Think I'll stay by the West coast ocean tonight and not complain about June gloom.

    Take care of yourselves and your pets

    You are correct sir.  I feel pretty caged in for 4 months not being able to open a window.
