Well, I suppose it could always be worse........saw this on FB the other day and it kinda puts things in perspective. I was going to complain about how hot it is... then I realized that at least: 1.) it isn't 109 degrees; 2.) I'm not 5,700 miles from home; 3.) I'm not dressed in a full ACU uniform and helmet and carrying 70+ lbs.; and 4.) there is very little chance that anyone will shoot at me or that I might drive over a bomb in the road today! Thanks to all who serve.

Yea, Fire Hydrants also fight over dogs because hundreds are being flushed daily

I live in Oklahoma City. We've been getting 100+ for quite some time. Today was amazing because some rain passed through and kicked it down into the 90's. Surprising how good it felt just to be below 100 during the day.

deadthunder2_0 · « **Reply #574 on:** August 06, 2011, 03:17:07 PM »

There are cloud seeding talks for the Dallas Fort Worth area, meaning creating rainclouds... We need it.

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #575 on:** August 06, 2011, 05:55:00 PM »

no doubt - the drought going on in texas is really severe and one of the worst in a long time...
also, hasnt it been something like 40 consecutive days with temps over 100 degrees?

deadthunder2_0 · « **Reply #576 on:** August 06, 2011, 06:05:10 PM »

38 days, record is 42, looks like a record breaking year.

eclipse74569 · « **Reply #577 on:** August 06, 2011, 09:00:51 PM »

You know there were talks about cooling off the entire globe by seeding clouds????

Oklahoma doesn't have it too much better. ARGH so sick of this heat. It definitely doesn't help that the AC at my work is...well, unreliable is a polite phrase, but it works I guess...
