    I try to find water, shade, and lots of frosty beverages lol....I am going to an Atlanta Braves game 2 morrow and the high is 101!!! Some areas around here are going to be over that...Compared to most of my fam and friends I am hot natured. I was the one wearing t shirts with it 20 degrees outside in school...Anyway, I can't even think when it gets hot. Thats why I am usually in a pool or the ocean or under the trees...It is hard to escape it anywhere though....

    I'll let you know on Tuesday. My friend and I have had a four day fishing trip planned for the last three months. We'll be heading to Lake Sardis in Mississippi tomorrow. Forecast high last I checked was 103 tomorrow and 104 on Saturday. Sunblock, stay hydrated and dress appropriately I guess.

    It is 101 here right now. I don't mind the heat. Actually about to head out and dig up an old fire pit so I can relocate it to a better part of the yard!

    It's a toasty 109 today. The stiff south wind and the 22% humidity is helping us out a bit... I saw on the news it was 115 degrees in Hill City, KS yesterday. That's just insane...

    It's 100 w. 36% Humidity and a real feel of 106 here in NW Missouri with no relief in sight.

    With this tropical storm we've had hanging around here for the last week, it felt like fall was on it's way this morning. It actually felt cool for about 20min:) I live near not far from the Atlantic Ocean so I normally have a little breeze coming my way.

    I can't complain but I still do.

    It was 106 at 4pm in NW Arkansas on my way to work. The processing plant I work at keeps it a refreshing 48.

    It's a little easier since I been living her for 53 years now. It's been hot before. It'll be hot again.

    I worked on a farm my first 4 years out of high school, so I don't mind the heat. Oddly enough, I actually get more work done outside the hotter it is. Weird, I know.

    But there are times when I actually miss working on a farm during the summer, but when it gets into the 100s like they're calling for the next couple days, I'm glad I sit behind a computer now. :)

    Thanks for the concerns Gary, it was 105 here today, everything is drying up and looks bad, the crops are suffering. I dring 2 bottles of water before I even start work and about 8 more during the day. But when I get home, this is how I deal with it LOL

    We've been real fortunate with mild weather YTD, just starting to get the heat now in the Piedmont of NC, but @10pm and 85 out, the deer outside were quite happy I put some water out for them.

    Cheers!
