Heat index here in DC was 117 today too. I'm suffering through a tough train ride where the A/C is not keeping up. Never thought I'd be happy to see 87 degrees on the forecast for Monday!

We have been having advisories daily about Extreme Heat indexes in excess of 120.

I'm sitting outside working on my second cigar of the day and it's still an effing sauna outside. I'm actually considering walking away from an illusione f9 and go in and watch a movie or something.

Maybe I just need to drink more. :bouncetau

In Charlotte it's finally cooled down a bit. Unfortunately all we had in the fridge was this pink Mike's Hard Lemonade crap. It ruined the taste of my Padrod just now...

Yeah hot here in SC, but I'm not complaining. I have friends in places its 115 and they have to wear 70 lbs of equipment and body armor. I can go in the AC. Just saying.

Everyone I talk to, across the country is being affected by this heat. The worst is that the humidity seems to be accompanying it, making it that much more unpleasant.

I think we have broke 80* twice this whole year. Hot heat > Rain all year
Yeah, I shouldn't really complain. I grew up in Illinois & spent a lot of time near Chicago. I'll take a week of 100+ temps over months of snow any day.

We are getting close to over a month and a half of 100+ degree days, not including heat index. Just another summer in Texas.
