I woke up at 3am this morning from the heat. When I tried to move I realised I was literally bathing in sweat. That's when I decided it'd be a good idea to open the window :erg:

Better than opening one window, try opening two. Through-draught ftw.

The only problem with that is when the air coming in and out is hotter than the air inside.

It's almost always drier outside, though. If you don't have AC.
Damn... it's going to be hotter today than yesterday. The temp has risen 8 degrees F in 90 minutes.

Don't you just love it when you wake up in the morning, stretch, and hear a nice "shhhkkkkk" sound as you lift your head up off the pillow?
Or when you fall over on the sidewalk and simultaneously feel searing pain and smell pork, and you roll around screaming and crying and sizzling because you can't find a surface cool enough to put your hand on to pick yourself up?
OR EVEN BETTER THAN THAT! Isn't it great when you have to put up with perfect strangers walking up to you and saying "hey buddy! HOT ENOUGH FOR YA YUK YUK", and you can't punch them in their big stupid head because your hands are still blistered from your experience with the sidewalk?
Ahh, Summer.

I will never understand how some people can wax lyrical about excessive heat, as if sweat and insomnia are some kind of heavenly blessing.
That's not what I meant. :sweat: I was praising the massive, but all too brief, rainstorm that followed it. I woke up today covered in sweat with a migraine from the heat, looks like 3 or 4 hours of sleep is all I get. :sweat: My insomnia's bad enough without the heat, but the rain was wonderful. :D

Starr and I drove back from San Jose yesterday. Oh God.
The car has no AC. Oh God.
When you stick your hand out of the window while travelling at 80 mph and the air is still fucking HOT (not warm, HOT) then there's a problem.
When we had finally fought our way through Vacaville and Dixon (111 and 116 respectively) and peeled ourselves off the upholstery in Davis, Starr's entire back was soaked from collar to cuffs. There are actually salt stains on her shorts from it.
Really not a lot of fun. We had some bottled water (v. cold) and MsLedd gave us a mister thing, but before we'd even gone halfway up the 580 -- so, about twenty minutes or so of driving -- the mister was nearly useless and the water bottles contained something the temperature of coffee.
This morning we went to the Co-op to buy enough supplies to last a couple of days, and even with the sun just starting to make its hideous ascent I was streaming sweat inside of 10 minutes. This heat is an horrible, horrible, nastie faggit.
In any normal location, this shit would have broken into gloriously savage thunderstorms and rain days ago. But this is the valley, and thunderstorms are things people read about in children's books and fairy tales.
Projected high: 112. Heat Advisory in effect until NINE PM. NINE PM WHAT.
(edit)
Here is a picture I just took from our front doorway. I am holding the oven thermometer for added comedy gold.

Wow. You could literally cook outdoors without any expense!

And now they've extended the heat advisory until 10 am. So what they're saying is that even at four in the goddamned morning it's going to be hot and humid enough to kill old people, toddlers, and pets.
wtf we are going to barbeque this evening :mad:
CORN AND ARTICHOKES AND SIRLOIN AHAHAHAHAHA
