how hot is it

the birds have to use potholders to pull worms out of the ground.
.....the trees are whistling for the dogs.
.....the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance.
.....hot water now comes out of both taps.
.....you can make sun tea instantly.
.....you learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron.
.....the temperature drops below 95 F (35 C) and you feel a little chilly.

.....you discover that in August it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car.
.....you discover that you can get sunburned through your car window.
.....you actually burn your hand opening the car door.
.....you break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 a.m.
.....you realize that asphalt has a liquid state.
.....the potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter.
.....the cows are giving evaporated milk.
.....farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.

Could have used that list 6 weeks ago. Right now it feels like it should be the end of September.

There was a sudden change around the mid/end of last week, it went from being able to relate to everything on that list to cool and rainy overnight, feels like September. But I'm not gonna complain because when you do work inside of a canning plant around the steam pipes on the hottest day of the year you want it to be cold outside . Anybody who's been in that situation knows exactly what I'm talking about.

News flash... That IS hot.

In Kuwait, it got up to 140 in the direct sunlight. It cooled down to a balmy 102 or so in the evening and was pretty nice. 'Course, in October, when the temps dropped to 75-80, it felt really cold!
