you know it's hot when...

It is so hot, that the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.

It is so hot, that the trees are whistling for the dogs to come & water them.

It is so hot, that the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.

It is so hot, that hot water now comes out of both taps.

It is so hot, that you can make sun tea instantly.

It is so hot, that you learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron

It is so hot, that you discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.

It is so hot, that you actually burn your hand opening the car door.

It is so hot, that you break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 am.

Your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?"

It is so hot, that you realize that asphalt has a liquid state.

It is so hot, that farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.

It is so hot, that the cows are giving evaporated milk.

There was a time that I would have considered that list as humor. Now I see it as fact. I checked the forecast today and no rain for the next 8 days. We are listed as an "Extreme Drought" area.

Nope, nope. Not enough heat in the sun to warrant that.

Last week was our heat wave for two weeks straight, hit 102 a record in Alameda a island in San Francisco bay, mind you this is at 83% humidity. At 5 am in house temps dropped to 84 without AC.
Back to normal with 59 am's and highs of 74 degrees with a bay breeze. Kayak time in the bay again.

I fess up....it was so hot yesterday that I stayed home. I didn't feel like melting away sitting in traffic. It's another hot one today, but not as bad at 94 this morning at 9am, and yes I came into work today.
The thing I hate about this hot weather, is that I can't open up my window shades at home. It's like a dark cool cave right now. One plus, is that I can walk around in my underthings without fear of giving the neighborhood a show. You men have it lucky, because you can at least take your shirts off in public(without getting arrested).

It's so hot I saw a roadrunner chase a lizard and they were both walking carrying canteens.

Yeah, Helifixer, a couple of weeks ago it hit 131 in Parker. But it's been in the high 100s and cloudy the last few days. Nearly sweater weather
