A few minutes ago, my car thermometer read 107. 107! I’ve never before seen a number that big for a temperature where I lived, but I know it is accurate. When I walked outside today at noon, it was like I walked into a wall. I experienced lots of hot, humid days growing up in southern Ohio (90+ degrees and 90% humidity), and I felt lots of tropical heat during the eight years I lived in Miami, but this was quite different. Does 10 degrees make that much difference? Is it because I’m in the “dry heat” of the southwest desert?
Hmmmm. This is day two of four or so of predicted extreme heat. At least I didn’t have to work yesterday or today. Needless to say, my unpacking has been curtailed considerably. I did start reading a book yesterday for the first time since I moved to LA last October. Slowly, life is settling back into “normalcy.” I trust the weather will follow soon.

I hear that CA may be in for a drought!! Ahh!! However, I believe you all should be in for a cooler rainier perior soon if memory serves me, correct?
Thanks for the comments. Take care and stay cool.

Have a nice day
107?? I can’t recall what 101 feels like anymore. It’s “fall” here in chilly, windy NL.
When I moved overseas it took me weeks just to get through one chapter of Pickwick Papers.
It sounds, despite the heat, that your latest move is doing you good, Steve.
Hope it cools off there, it finally is something like normal here, but those days it was 125 with the heat index were BAD.
someone said it was 99 in Long Beach yesterday (where i live). it’s TOO hot! hopefully the temps will break today or tomorrow. i have a window a/c, but it wasn’t enough.
