Oh my lord — this last weekend was just far too hot for me. Okay, okay, so I moved out of Alaska to get away from the cold weather, and I know I’ve got some readers of this page who will put me squarely in the “whine” category for this, but when things push up to 96°, I just stop functioning as well as I should. My appetite drops off to the point where it’s difficult to eat, and after a couple days of that…well, as a skinny boy with a high metabolism, going without enough food just doesn’t work well.
I was so happy to see clouds in the sky when I got up yesterday. I still ended up spending a good portion of the day in bed, feeling a little woozy, but with temperatures back in the 70’s, everything seems to be working as it should again.
Right now, I’m just glad I didn’t move any further south than Seattle. A few days a year of weather this hot is more than enough for me, I don’t know how well I’d cope if this were a regular thing.

Good thing you didn’t move down to Arizona. It’s hot, to say the least. Last night, the temp was 99°. During the day, it’s much hotter, if you can imagine. The hottest it has ever been here, and I’ve been living here most of my life (yes, I’m crazy for that), has been somewhere in the high 120’s.
I’m with you Michael. I opened the door at about 2 pm and was hit with a wave of heat and said ….screw that! I closed the door and went back to listening to music on the headphones while sitting in front of a fan.
