There's a saying about standing the heat and kitchens, which means in my mind there should always be less heat *outside* of the kitchen.

Especially when I'm spending 50 hours a week in one in my job, at that. Smiling

Thats actually pretty refreshing to what I'm used to. During the summer here in south Texas the temperatures are usually in the low to mid 100s. It does get pretty hot. If theres any saving grace however, its usually dry heat, as to where its like standing next to a furnace; its still hot either way but you don't sweat as easy. This is because its close to the Mexcian deserts. But then theres times we get our weather from the gulf of Mexico which although comes with a chance of rain (75% of that time we don't get), the humidity raises like crazy. Thankfully though it usually happens at night after the sun goes down. But during the day... just no. One out of many reasons why I quit my self employed job as a gardener/landscaper.

Hee! I'm a native of Anderson, SC. People ask, "Why would you move to Chicago instead of living in the South?" I look at it this way: when it's too cold, you can always bundle up. When it's too hot and humid, there's only so many clothes you can take off before you get arrested Eye-wink

Ah, but you only shovel a small area...

In Summer you gotta mow the whole damned property!

That's your punishment for living in S.C. in the first place.

Naw, I'm just kidding. I used to live in New York, or more specifically "Long Island". Yeah, being completely surrounded by water during the summer just about kills you on humidity.

-Estimated six so far. Let's hope it doesn't go higher!

I dunno about that. I live at sea level, by the river and it's not so bad. 81 right now.

It feels hotter than usual, especially since we had such unusual cold for so long. Just two weeks ago I was worried about frost a couple nights and I had to wear a coat! Sticking out tongue

We skipped spring and went straight into July.

A high of 98 is called for today.

Once I am in it I am fine. It's the transition from cool to hot that I don't like.

I did automotive work for two years and it was probably the hottest job I've had. In the summer I sat outside for my lunch break because it was "cooler"

Yeah, tell me about it. I volunteer with a local folk dance association, and yesterday was our 3 hour dance marathon fundraiser up in glenside. The building was air conditioned somewhat, but the township couldn't spare anyone to turn the cooling system on until 1:30, and the dance started at 3. Temperature in the dance space got up to about 85, with lots of warm sweaty bodies to up the humidity.

I also find it somewhat amusing that out of all this spirng during the renovations on my office, this is the day that the HVAC system is down for repairs/renovations.

Somedays I drive to Camden, where I'm using my parking pass for Rutgers until it expires in August, then take Patco to 8th Street, then to the Septa train to 34th. After August, I'll need a new driving plan on days when I need to drive, likely utilizing the Lindenwold parking area (as long as get there really early to get a spot). Other days, mainly when I'll be working all night, I take the NJ Transit bus to Camden, the take the trains.

Maybe I'll see you in passing now and then on the few days I leave early (ie, the days I work all night so I can get housework done in the afternoon before I collapse from exhaustion).

You might see me carrying a red and white Igloo container and a black laptop bag with a hole in the bottom (I just use it for note papers and my umbrella, no need for a new one!). I've got dark brown hair and glasses.

Soooo..

As usual, shall I use my omnipotent powers and make good weather for the convention? No thanks neccesary for the rain on the protestors last year! >:}

Let me see, how's about 82 F or so Tuesday and Wednesday, partly cloudy with low humidity for loading the trucks and the convoy trip out, and then 85-87 for the duration of the convention?

I do have to toss some rain in there for the farmers, sorry everyone. But I'll try to restrict it to late evening thunderstorms. Let me see, some brief thunderstorms early Tueday afternoon, hailing a cold front would be nice. It'll clear out and be refreshing by 5 PM. Then we'll have to have some storms Thursday or Friday night. Take your pick! I've got plenty of time to set up the jet stream patters!

I AM THE ALMIGHTY CHARLES. I HAVE SPOKEN!!! >:D

Isn't there a furry fan who works for AccuWeather? I always loved that name -- I can just imagine them sticking pins into the map to control the weather.

I used to think I preferred dry heat over humidity but all bets are off when blowing dust gets factored into the equation >.<

It has been high nineties here for a couple of weeks, peaking above 100 every couple days (like today), which sucks but is not aided by the fact we have nearly constant winds of 15+ mph which DO NOTHING to cool you down, interspersed with dust storms up to 80mph. -.-

I sure am glad I'm not deployed but I imagine that the weather over there is only slightly worse than where I'm at Sticking out tongue I haaaaaaaaaaaaate this damn sand, the sky is brown about as often as it is blue.
