Temperatures today may not break 110 today. 9 of the last 10 days have exceed 110. This well could be the reason that 109 may be the high temp. today. Huge wildfires burning west of Tulsa is blotting out the sun. 40 homes along with 100s of other structures were destroyed on Friday. Many more have burned today. Reports are that the entire community of Silver City is gone. Massive areas have been evacuated. the drought that has depleted water levels, along with the 110 -115 heat is taking a toll on firefighters hampering their efforts to fight the flames. Triple digit heat is in the forecast for another week at least.  
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.

I said a prayer last Thursday, and it rained Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and the temps dropped into the 80s. Didn't rain in Looneyville any, but all south of there. Just sayin.
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's been plenty hot and extremely dry up here, hard on the crops and killing of a lot of fish from the high water temp and slow flow. Ban on watering yards. We finally got a rain today.  Hope you get some soon.

I did, but they may not have the range needed.
Hope you don't mind getting your knees dirty.
