Holy shit, Cliff, I knew you were medicated, but had no clue how much...
Anybody know where I can get some epaulets for the toilet tank?? Epaulets as the toilet seat, man! |

We only have A/C in two bedrooms. I moved the amp and mic stand into one. That's how I'm spending my Tuesday evening. |

Location: SoCal | We had the heat for about 5 weeks. It was running about 102 with 65% humidity. Now it's down in the 80's but the humidity is still up so it still feels hot and doesn't cool down at night. We've had the air on for a looooonnnnnnggggg time. The electric bills are taking all my guitar money..... |

Location: NJ | I went to get my oil changed at the local Kwiky-Lube-It-All place.
As I pulled in, my digital themometer said 109.
As the limp dishrag that changed my oil brought my car around, I pressed a 10-spot upon him and said "Hydrate Yourself".
It's supposed t'be worse tomorrow.
I've arranged to take the afternoon "off", and meeting Jeanette at the town pool (after filling the cooler with a batch of Absolut RubyRed Grapefruit martooni's . . . .) |

Location: Tennessee | My heart goes out to you all. We had ten days of incredible heat, highlighted with five straight days of 109 or higher. But we've settled back to normal ... days in the low 80's (with about 30% humidity) and nights in the high 50's (with humidity around 65%) ... gotta love that marine layer.
Hang in there ... it will end ... sometime ... |

Location: Houston, Texas | Guys, I've lived in Houston most of my life, but I've gotta say that I'm just astounded at the temperatures all across the nation this year. Especially so far north. We've had just a warm summer so far with only one day over 101 (back in May) and most of the days around 92 to 96. Most summers we get up to about 102-105 several times and of course always high humidity. We get used to it, but you guys are really suffering this summer, and I know that you all aren't used to it.
We actually had one day last week where the high was only about 78, but of course we had close to four inches of rain that day.
What the hell is going on????????????????? |

Location: SoCal | In SoCal, our problem was a High over Southern Nevada blocking the coastal breeze...so high humidity (at least for San Diego). Last two days, back to about 76-78. All of the hotels are booked solid, many Arizona license plates. |

Location: Chehalis, Washington | My inlaws are down there in Santee and El Cajon, but they do have a REALLY nice pool...
Finally bearable up here; lower humidity, highs of about 76. :cool:
I don't know what's been causing it this year, but it's definitely bad. I grew up around Death Valley, CA, so I was used to 125 in the shade (if you can find any), but after 15 years here I wasn't prepared for 100 degree heat, or the 85% humidity. We usually only get a few hot days a year, and even then it's only up to the low nineties.
I talked to my brother in Wisconsin yesterday...high of 113 with 80% humidity. Yuck! |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | Here in New Jersey it's like walking around inside a hot, damp washcloth. The "girls" aren't especially enjoying it, even with the central air. When the strings of your 5-string bass won't hold pitch, you know it's miserable outside. Oh well, at least this isn't the tropics, where it's like this all the time (when it isn't monsoon season.)

The girls: Gertrude (G-1111-4), Jewel (CE868LX-4), Blanca (Viper 1271 Natural), the anonymous Tornado (still in the naming process), Sugar (Steinberger 5-string bass), Plink (Galiano mandolin), Twang (Vega 5-string banjo) and Shriek (fiddle of uncertain antecedents) |
