I knew it was hot...

So...exactly how hot is it in Central FL where there is no cool offsetting breeze from the ocean?

Was at the pool at my in-laws yesterday and it said 95, humidity was in the high 90's, then it rained, so you get the sauna effect.

There was a tourist couple from Phoenix in my neighborhood pizza shop recently, and they were telling the local guy working the counter that it was 112 degrees in AZ that day...and he sincerely responded, "Oh, but it's a dry heat!"

We laughed and laughed and laughed.

Of course, he wasn't the one who questioned the diction. :-) Specifically he says Atlanta is hot right now, and I'd take him at his word on that point.

It is very different than a humid heat. When we were in Death Valley hiking and it was over a hundred it was NOTHING like a hundred in FL. MUCH easier to deal with.

Here's an Uncomfortable Truth: (With a little TMI at the end.)

My sister was getting out of the subway on 23rd street and as she ascended the stairs she passed a woman who must have weighed about 350#. As they passed the woman looks at my sister and says:

"It is so hot, my pussy's melting." and just keeps on walking.

Perhaps she had an ice sculpture of a cat in her purse?

We can only hope.

Must be hot, my voltage was steady at 111 yesterday, down from a normal 128 volts.

Fascinating, Bruce. I had no idea the global warming concern dated that far back.

[Pangloss62]

I can't remember where I saw that article before Bruce, but its prescience struck me as both ironic and sad. I saw a hurricane conference on CSPAN not long ago (http://www.flghc.org/) and there was this old-school climatologist who completely dissed the notion of human-induced global warming. He came off as a crank, but he did have some good historical data to back up his claim that GW is cyclical in nature and that the present warming is not because of us. I don't know. I tend to believe the Navy guy from 1953

Hiking in over 100 degree heat?!

It's not the voltage, it's the amps baby.:p

WTF! Oy vey! I would have laughed my ass off...and been grossed out at the same time. I wonder...nevermind (I have to stop myself before I say things I shouldn't). But, speaking of...not the heat or anything like that, just funny/random things people say. Last night I was riding with my neighbors mom up to the QT to get some refreshments...she's getting out of the car and her phone rings, she turns and says "Oh! You've gotta be fist-fucking me!" and answers her phone...

[Pangloss62]

Those are both pretty funny. When I read the one about the big woman I cracked up. That other woman at the QT? Where the hell did she get that?

But hiking in 100 degree heat is not that crazy as long as you keep drinking tons o' water. With that dry heat, your sweat evaporates as soon as it comes out of your pores.

Dry heat can git cha.
