It's freezing here at work, but I do have to go out to my car oven to get home. It does suck though!

Ditto!

It has been in the low to mid 90's out here lately, I don't leave the house unless I have to. We've been taking the dogs out late in the day when it isn't so hot.

Hope everyone stays cool, Summer isn't over yet!

But it's still hot as hell in the evening too, Heather. It would be nice if it would just get cool at night, but it doesn't. :cool:

It WOULD be nice, and unfort. we will have the kids there too, but we keep about 10 gallons of water w us, and lots of ice. I know that sounds like alo of water, but we bring 2 large water jugs and then if anyone else needs some, we have it there. We also let them have water wars during the games too. The kids usually do alright.

Stay cool! Thank God for AC. After the hurricane last year we had no AC and it was torture. You couldn't even sleep. I just try to stay in doors most of the summer. I hate it. Come on Fall!

I guess I am the odd ball. I really like the warm weather. I hate to run the a/c during the day. I will only have it on at night to sleep. Of course, FH insists it be on once the temp reached about 83.
But if Kaci wants fall to come fast, I'll allow that. That brings us closer to the wedding...lol

Wow and it has only been in the mid 80s to low 90s here all week and I refuse to leave the house or the a/c. The dogs won't even go outside. I was in Vegas a few years ago in August and it was topping at 110 a day. I don't care what they say about a dry heat, 110 is still **** hot!

It was August when I was in Vegas and I loved the dry heat! I actually stayed outside for an extended amount of time when I was there. Here it is so humidity is what kills you. We have had like 100% humidity and it is horrible.

Oh, that's so cool!! I wish it was winter here. Summers are so hard to take here in Phoenix, but I'll take the heat over snow any day. :)

We dont get snow here... I would love to have a day of play in the snow though, I havent seen snow in years, and that is only because we travelled to go see it! :D

Hot is hot and I don't like it. I hate the humidity. We get that 100% stuff here too. (One fo the downsides to having three huge rivers flow through your city.) Frankly, I will take snow and wind chills to 90+ degree days anytime.

Being cold, to me, is the absolute worse. Because you just can't put on enough clothes. But when you're really hot, you can take off your clothes, and jump in the pool. :D

Remember you can always add a layer, but you can only get so naked.
