But it's a dry heat
If it's 99 degrees at 3:00, the century mark is in sight. Wish we could store some of this for February.

102 here in West Beaverton about 90 minutes ago. And the Hillsboro Air Show seems surprisingly quiet.

I did the grocery run at 10. Fried chicken and cases of beer seemed to be moving rapidly.

Max,
I've been to Juneau, Alaska for around a week back during my Arabia days. You kept asking me that in a recent post: "Have you ever been to Alaska? Well, I have, and I bet you haven't. I bet you'd have to Google it, even to know what the capital is..."
Wrong, Max. I like you but the condescending tone can be irritating.
I'd never try to say that - unless you've been to the Empty Quarter - you don't know what hot is. Google it.
P.S. I always was irritated when westerners would call Arabs "ragheads." The original reason they dressed like that was simple: To keep the sun from killing them. You go out in the deep desert for very long, in a tank top and shorts, and you're going to die.

Our outdoor thermometer on the patio read 107 at about 2 PM this afternoon. Of course, the patio is covered so it is a bit of a heat trap. But however you cut it, that's hot.

Second home down under, mates? I know....you just can't break away from the Rain City scene.....

If I had a second home down under, I would certainly not be there in August.

Bill - like you, I've always found the term "ragheads" irksome. Even I know why they dress that way. And I don't think a/c is quite as prevalent there as here...could be wrong on that.

It might be a dry heat, but each Thanksgiving I cook my turkey in a dry heat. 101 here in SW.
