It's still not as bad as Phoenix in August.

The hottest places in the nation over the last few days (according to my local papers) have all been in South Dakota ... and I'm betting it wasn't real dry up there.

I read that the temperature was supposed to hit 100 for the first time since August 9, 2001. That was the day of the infamous MOFO picnic, where most of us met in person for the first time...

I swear to god, in my limited experience, you don't feel it out there the way you feel it here.

It's still freaking hot...I hate it, it doesn't seem that long ago that we were posting about shoveling snow.

We'll be posting about that again before too long.

My wife and daughter were in Las Vegas two weeks ago. The daytime temperature there that week averaged between 111- 116 F. (according to the thermometer at their hotel) Dry shmy That doesn't help you much when you get into your car that had been out in the sun, and burn the skin off your hands when you touch the steering wheel. And, it was 103 F in New Fairfield CT yesterday. Later

South Dakota often has very hot summers. I bet they have plenty of central air. I, like many others, assumed that because it's in the North that it wouldn't be so hot. But a few years ago I looked into a summer vacation that would have included the Badlands and Mount Rushmore, and was surprised at the average July and August temperatures.

Last year we were going to spend some time in August in Grenada, Spain til I saw the temps there and opted for Italy instead. It was a house exchange. We had perfectly pleasant weather and they lived through last year's heat wave.

I was in Grenada! It was in May of 1999. We just spent one night there, saw the Alahambra and then went on to Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol.

Yeah, but with the wind-chill it felt like only 96. Now the problem is that this "big cool-off" that's supposed to come thru late Thursday or so doesn't sound like it's going to cool things off as much as previously advertised. Instead of dropping from 99 to around 80 and drier, it's going to be more like upper 80s and only slightly drier.

At least there is not much laundry to do. Sweaty underpants and PJs and that's about it

What can be more fun than sweaty underpants?

The Woodrow Wilson Bridge was shut down during rush hour (suspicious package). I can't imagine how nuts people went duirng the ensuing backups.

I bet the package contained sweaty underpants.

Is that the formal name for the 14th Street Bridge? It seems that's the only way out of mid-town DC. Must have been a disaster. Later

Woodrow Wilson Bridge is part of the Beltway downriver from Washington. I've been caught in enough traffic jams there to have time to read the commemorative plaque.
