It is really something else, especially when you're not used to it. Yesterday here in central Missouri was 105 with a heat index of 112. We went on a hokey pirate ship cruise for the kids in the morning and I kept imagining what it felt like to be trapped in the hold of a West African slaver or one of those sailboats on the Nile. Nothing like being fully clothed and wearing body armor though so I can't complain...but I am staying hydrated.

I'm really glad I didn't buy my cousin's ranch in Oklahoma now.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

It was a great place, and the house was neat, lots of land with a small river runnig along side of it. It was the kind of place I dreamed of owning. Just wasn't in the cards.
I couldn't begin to imagine what it would be like in that house as hot as it's been. When I heard vandals burned the house down, the whole place lost it's appeal to me. I would liked to have had some pictures of that place, it was unique.

I was still in grade school when I was last there, and it was remote then. The area had built up and my cousin's in-laws had passed away, so no one lived there and it had gone down. The local kids used it to party at, and you know what happens then.
I don't remember how much land there was, but from the house you couldn't lay eyes on land they didn't own. The house sat on a small hill with fields and pastures on 3 sides with large hills after that. The neat thing about the house was the crows nest as they called it. A small bedroom that poked up from the top of the roof with windows on all 4 sides. From the crows nest you could see almost the whole place, and they would shoot coyotes from there. There were other interesting things about the house, but the crows nest was my favorite.
I do remember that on one visit it was really really hot and they didn't have AC or indoor plumbing. Had to cool off in the river at night. I also got caught in the outhouse during a thunderstorm.
That ranch was the inspiration for my current place, except I don't have a crows nest, but I do have AC and indoor plumbing.

It was at 126 F I had to drive 6 miles to put up a sign in Broken Arrow. This is when I arrived about 4:30 pm.
They had a shower up north of Tulsa near the airport. So the official temp will not be this high Only 114 F I think. There is more concrete down here and no shower has occured. The car read the same after I got back to the office. BF where is this cooling stream????

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

The media around hear is always making a crises out of the weather. "Oh the temperature and humidity are dangerously hot and record breaking", they will say. I check the temp. when I leave work at 5 PM and when I get home in the country after a 30 minute drive; it's at least 5-10 degrees cooler at home. So our media is making a mountain out of a mole hill. However in 3_tens case, it's not mearly hot, it's really most sincerely HOT.

It is really amazing how relative hot is. 3 weeks ago and 102 would have been very hot. Today 102 felt like cool fall. Go figure!

The funny thing about the October MG Shoot at Knob Creek is watching people from different parts of the country (and world) and how they dress for the weather. That time of year the temperature can vary greatly in both weather patterns, and daily temperatures. On a day that I might be comfortable in a longsleeve shirt, I've seen people walking around in heavy coats that I would wear in January. Course I've also seen floks walking around in shorts and t-shirts too. Makes me wonder where they came from.
Then there is Kenny, doesn't matter what time of year or temperature it is, he's wearing shorts. If it's really hot, he's wearing a tank top. If it's really cold, he wears a t-shirt without the sleeves. If it's really, really cold (0 degrees F. or lower) he wears a t-shirt with short sleeves.

It is funny how you get accustom to temeratures. Speaking of which it is supposed to be 108 here today. Today's predicted high is 108.
The record for this date is 106. If the record is broken, it will be the 5th consecutive day. Today will be the 35th consecutive day of triple-digit highs. The record is 42 consecutive days. |

I remember a time when AC was the exception in both houses and cars and not the rule. Can you imagine what it would be like without AC?
The American Motors, Ambassador was the first car produced in America that had airconditioning as standard equipment, and that was in 1968. Edited by BeltFed - August/05/2011 at 13:05 |

Im not sure that I could sleep in my house if it was over 80 or 90 degrees. I don't mind heat at all it never has bothered me but I hate being hot when I sleep, that's the one exception. Then again if I never knew any different...
