Fat men all over the world
can't compete with how hot it's getting here.
Yesterday the area we live in set records for the hottest it's been. It was 104 degrees F. Yarg! I emailed Alix and mentioned to her that it's like a reverse winter. You only go outside and risk exposure to get to your car, and other necessities. But in the winter there are the perks of skiing. Here I get to work about heat stroke, sun burns and skin cancer. Let the party begin!
Yesterday there was a power plant on the North Bay, which is a little north of us, which went out because of the heat, and yesterday California had the most power consumption ever. Gotta run the air conditioners!
Anyhow it's hot. The air, even at night is stifling, everything has absorbed the heat, so there is never any relief. Luckily we pay an arm and a leg forour apartment and our air con. works very well and is our private oasis.

I have been trying to explain the "summer is as hot here as winter is cold there" to Northerners for a long time. It is so freaking hot in the summer here that you are literally housebound for most of it. Especially when there are little kids involved... they can't stand the heat and get overheated very quickly. Every year we have a few old folks and young kids (usually ones left in cars) who die of heat exposure.
you think its hot, I could have cooked a roast in the bbq with out lighting it.........
