Wow....sucks to be you!

It's going to be warm here today as well. 75 for a high, and in the 10 day forecast it looks like this Wednesday will be the hottest day at 83 degrees. Then the next day a high of 68. Of course these temps are quite a bit lower than average for August. Most summers we'd be in the mid-80's to mid-90's at this time of year.

It's going ot be in the mid-80s to low 90s, depending on where you are - but the humidity has been pretty high, making it miserable. I don't mind those temps, if it is dry.

I just got an estimate for putting AC and a new furnace in my house - over $9 grand! I think I'll stick with fans, since we would only need AC for a couple of weeks a year. Sure, we would use it more if we had it, but we're not that far from the beach, so it doesn't usually get that hot.

It will be over 100 here today, with fairly high humidity.

It finally stopped raining here, now its sunny and getting warmer. Phoenix at 115, whew, that's hot. Its a dry heat though, right? It can kill, but its slower I guess, eh?
