Hot enough for you today?

[kwc57]

June 10th:
Just moved to Oklahoma! Now this is a state that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! It is beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.

June 14th:
Really heating up; got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper.

June 30th:
Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today; lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing the lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

July 10th:
The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least, it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer than I expected.

July 15th:
Fell asleep by the community pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body); missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though - got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.

July 20th:
I missed Whiskers (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Whiskers had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag, then popped like a water balloon. The car now smells like Kibbles and $hits. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat. Good ol' Mr. Sun strikes again.

July 25th:
The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.

July 30th:
Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now, $225,000 house and I can't even go inside. Whiskers is the lucky one. Why did I ever come here?

Aug. 4th:
It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.

Aug. 8th:
If another wise ass cracks, 'Hot enough for you today?' I'm going to strangle him. damn heat. By the time I get to work, the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!

Aug. 9th:
Tried to run some errands after work - wore shorts, and when I sat on the seats in the car, I thought my ass was on fire. My skin melted to the seat. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and ass . . . Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat.

Aug 10th:
The weather report might as well be a damn recording . . . Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do $hit for two damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week.

Doesn't it ever rain in this damn state? Water rationing will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't live in this damn heat.

Aug. 14th:
Welcome to HELL! Temperature got to 115 today. Cactus are dead. Forgot to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and guess what he asked me??? "Hot enough for you today?" My sister had to spend $1,500 to bail me out of jail. Freaking Oklahoma . What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here??

Will write later to let you know how the trial goes.

I wish I owned a power company there

But seriously, thats too hot for too long.

 

[Two Thumbs]

Yeah, but it's a dry heat.

 

[kwc57]

Yeah, but it's a dry heat.

No......that would be New Mexico or Arizona! Actually, we have received so little rain and the weather patterns have been such that we have had pretty low humidity which helps......until you get the wind which acts like a blow dryer.

I passed thru Arizona on my way to Tahoe a few years back.. I didn't like the dry heat at all.
I don't think I could get use to it.

Cool spell has hit us here. It was 80 at 7:00 this morning. I just checked and its only 95 out there right now. The boy and I have been expanding the chicken house. If it gets any cooler, I am going to have to dig out a sweater.

The interesting thing is, there are heat advisories out there all over America, but not one here in Arizona...where its been over a 100 for 40+ days now....but this is normal for us.

and yes, there is a difference between a dry heat and a florida heat. It really really is. Its funny, we consider it a nice day today because its only 104.

I remember a day last month when it was 118...dry or not, that was freaking hot.

I said the same thing but its three months of really dry heat (as opposed to anything on the east coast in the summer) then on Christmas, I can get in my pool. (Real estate is a joke here, it really is. ANYONE can buy a home here.)

Give and take.

Really? I'll take the dry heat over humidity any day. With humidity, they air can be so heavy it gets hard to breathe. That an I perspire profusely (sweat like a horse) and if it is the least bit humid outside, I'm drenched in about 2 minutes. Just walking from the parking garage across the street from my office, I have to turn on my fan to dry out at 8:00 AM. Dry heat, the sweat evaporates as fast as you can produce it.

Being in arizona for 7 years now...I have to say, you are correct sir.

For the record, it is currently 108 in Oklahoma City. Weather forecasters say it will be even hotter the rest of the week and there is no change in the foreseeable future. DANG!

We've had several lakes shut down this summer due to algae blooms.
