oh, i can survive and be fit, but i can also bitch nonstop like there's no tomorrow, and that's exactly what i intend to do until it cools down!

I had to go through several days of 100 degree heat here in the SF Bay Area last week (including 105 one day) so now it is your turn .

Sorry, what?

Anx said:

Current outside Temp here is 69, tomorrows high 72 .

What's a heatwave? Is that some kind of special rain?

Stepping off the plane yesterday I thought they turned MPLS into a sauna.

It's awful.

I've done nothing at home but lay on my bed with a fan blowing on me.

i owe you NOTHING!!!

Anx said:

Sorry I cannot hear you....it must be the heat on your end distorting the sound...

Just kidding, I actually sympathize with you after just going through a heat wave myself.

CarrieMpls said:

do they have cooling centers in MPLS? i couldn't imagine being without an AC right now. even with one, i still need a fan blowing on me right now. i carry it around with me like it's an oxygen tank or something.

Maybe showers.... Can't wait!

Anx said:

I'm off to Darin's right now to watch tv and enjoy his AC. Usually I'm ok without it, basement apartment and all, but this 103 degree nonsense is just over the top.

Floridian here! That shit is normal for us.
I had to spend the entire weekend near water.

as long as it doesn't rain too much this weekend, cuz i don't want a soggy lollapalooza!

Anx said:

You Grup!

In Detroit, the heat index is above 100 degrees again. They have opened cooling centers in a dozen public libraries as well as rec centers and churches. I think cities handle extreme heat pretty well these days. They set up hotlines where peeps can call for help. Its really rather organized. There was a terrible rash of deaths in Chicago a decade or so ago when there was a heat wave. I think alot of cities learned big lessons from that.

i'm only taking 10 more weeks of this kind of weather, if it goes beyond that i'm moving to fucking alaska! :igloo:

i find it haunting that An Inconvient Truth is at the theaters right now. this heatwave is just helping prove the global warming theory. kinda scary, huh?

Can you believe some folks are sunbathing in this weather? i think it's dangerous, especially for guys, unless lover likes roasted nuts.

people who revel in this kind of heat are sick and need to be put away. at the very least, they need to keep their sick desires to themselves.

Anx said:

Yeah, let me come visit you....

In Llena style,

See you ion October Git!

Who are you to say it's not OK? You're pulling a Mel Gibson on us!

It's not just the midwest. It's supposed to be 99F degrees in NYC the next two days. I love when it's baking on garbage day and I have to smell all that toasted trash on the sidewalk next to the supermarket and bowling alley on my way to the subway.

been there, done that. everything smells like pee and you have to shower every time you come in from outdoors because you're covered in grime.

I shouldn't have joked you.

The power went out about 30 minutes ago and came immediately back on.
But I just found out a second ago that my AC is not working. (and it's not the circuit breaker)

sextonseven said:

i am so not looking forward to those temperatures. it's supposed to hit 100 on wednesday. i want to stay home but i won't be able too.

Imago said:

Oh noooo. U're going to barbeque!

Anx said:

That overheated full garbage dumpster smell just wakes you right up in the morning. (in my best Willow Rosenberg voice) Whoo!

It's almost as bad as that overheated full homeless guy smell in the subway. The one guy that sends people running is the one on the J train with no shoes--even in the winter. His feet have turned black.

Oh, you will be complaining about the bitter cold and snow up to your arse before long. Enjoy sweatin. Keeps your dickie lubed.
