Testing the heat on two feet

Hot 'nough for ya?   Hear it's gonna get warm today!  It's not the heat, it's the...

Some of the better "It's so hot..." jokes came from Johnny Carson, and for more of his gems, click here.  Or try this from the Raleigh News and Observer.

OK, already.  It terribly hot in York, Pa., right now, and the Weather Underground has it as 100.0 right now. The Weather Channel has the temperature at 93.  But the humidity is only 40 per cent, and as we all know, that makes all the difference.

Was thinking about the time I've been the hottest (aside from today, because that's always the worst).  While vacationing in Arizona, we were exploring ghost towns in a non-air conditioned van, and remembered we had to stop in a restaurant just to sit in the AC.

Down the road, we stopped at White Sands National Monument, where the sun was finally dropping. The sunset made for some interesting shadows. How miserably hot would it have been a couple hours earlier?  Maybe this bug was gingerly walking across the sand on two of his six feet.

Some friends and fellow co-workers live in the southwest in winter, and head to Nova Scotia in summer. Sounds like a perfect solution to the weather problem.
