Default Hot Out

I was out driving yesterday. Temps on the dash thermometer indicating high 90's. Just befor I got home I saw 101 degrees.
The AC was doing quite well to keep me comfortable.
Just thought I would share.

Today isn't so bad, nor was yesterday, but the few previous to that were heat indexes of around 115. Very high humidity. Was brutal, but had no trouble with my AC keeping up either. Just had to flog my car a bit harder to accelerate reasonably.

Wink You jealous?

It was supposed to be close to 80 here yesterday. I wore capris. It was like 70 all day and overcast. Pretty disappointing. Same for today, hoping for some sunshine.

We probably won't see triple digits here until the very end of July at the earliest. (:

Eh. I work in AC and have a car with AC. I'm not really an outdoorsy person, so the heat doesn't bother me.

I can see the obituary now:

Motorist achieves 53+ mpg in his Fiesta. Life long goal is achieved. Heat exhaustion is deemed cause of death.
