The first summer here I didn’t have air...temps were 100 plus at times.....I filled a squirt bottle with water and stayed in front of a fan , did a full body zap with the squirter every so often and worked great.

Not picking on you. I don’t doubt you. A similar thing happens with my local paper. It’s very misleading and very Orwellian. It is interesting how many here do not read the articles but just comment on the headlines. I like reading the articles, even the silly ones. Thanks.

Meanwhile in SE Michigan we are putting on flotation devices so we can go back on I-94.

Waiting for Beach Inequality, maybe I’ll get an inch or two of Barbra Streisand’s place.

I remember when dad bought our first window AC here in the Big Valley...where it gets VERY HOT every summer.

We all sat in the living room and marveled.

I don’t think it’s legal to build a home without it anymore in these parts.

Old folks do die from the heat.

I’ve seen it go 10 days straight with temps 105-108, cooling to only 74 overnight.

Anyone of any color can plant a leafy cooling tree.

Yup. What ever happened to "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" ?

Here north of Seattle near Puget Sound it is down to 86. Was up to 97 earlier. It is still 97 in the Seattle area.

The weather is racist.

It's all Whitey's fault!

Reality is racist!

At 2 pm my back lawn was 115*. My canoe was 148*. Right now the walls of the house are radiating 86*, after spraying them down 7 times through the day to reduce the conductive.

The floor in the living room is showing 84*.

I’ll be starting the 36” fan in about 2 hours to blow cooler air into the house once the front cools down a bit.

I’m half a mile from the JDF strait, 88 miles from Seattle.

Every single “inequality” whine is utterly meaningless. I have yet to see any differentiation of categories EVER come out exactly the same in any significant sample size. It is virtually impossible. That’s why the Left loves to use it, because there will always be SOME difference to find, and therefore they get the foot in the door for more government authority and control to “fix” the “problem”... which is not even close to what they want or intend to do.

“Anyone of any color can plant a leafy cooling tree.”

Civilization advances when old men plant trees in whose shade they will never sit.
