Fuck
I just went outside to check the mail and looked at the little thermometer outside my door and it's 119!!!

even for Vegas, that's fucking hot

the official temp right now is 111
they are having heat advisories today as well

would you rather had hurricane warning?
;-)))

um, no thanks
at least when it's this hot I can turn on the oven to cool off the house ;-)

Jesus.. and I am considering moving to that place!! :blink:

tomorrow is supposed to get even hotter, they have heat advisory warnings for the res of the week

WHY??!! :ph34r:

It's all that damn nuclear waste they're shipping in. :nyanya:

nah, then it will REALLY get hot ;-)

even if it does go through, it'll still be several years before they start dumping...


the nice thing about liing in las vegas:
you can order from Pizza Hut online and you can buy groceries from Albertson's online and they'll even deliver it in a refrigerated truck...

hell with it, let the drivers ber the heat ;-)

Can't you stay in one spot long enough, TE?

... Or do they find out about you and force you to leave? :P

Inquiring minds want to know!

just move out to where I'm at...it's always a couple degrees hotter, but only a short drive to the lake for some heavy duty boating.....


actually, I was talking to a couple of the Vegas guys about grabbing a pontoon one of these upcoming weekends, renting a couple jetskis and hang out on Lake Mead for the weekend

And i complain about the Australian summers. Fuck that. lol.

What's the humidity to go along with that temp?

in the city, only about 10-15%, out here near the lake it's 15-20%
that whole dry heat people talk about...

I will take 115 with a humidity of 15 way before I'll take 95 with a humidity of 75.

Why did you go outside?

Must be nice out at Lake Las Vegas :)

the mailbox is across the street....
I need to start hiring someone to do that

I forgot to call the yard guy today, so my wife made me mow the lawn this evening at 7:30...since it cooled off...to 106 degrees! At least I got rewarded with a big ass glass of iced tea.....but it'll teach me to forget to call the yard guy....

EDIT - Lake Las Vegas is gorgeous, but unfortunately, I'm about 5 miles up the road from it...

someday though......

On the Vegas side I take it? Are you up on that hill you see to the left on the drive out there?

yeah, on the Vegas side
we're just before the hill...just before the horse properties and a bit after the "old" Henderson....

The funny thing about the desert is - you get used to it. Really, you do. It usually hits about 115-120 during the summer where we are (east of Palm Springs, CA) and I know I bitch about it constantly, but it's only about 3 months out of the year. The rest of the time, it's perfect. The first year we moved here it broke records and hit 130 - beating out Death Valley for the first time *ever* for hottest temp in the US desert. Talk about a rude awakening!

Lately the temp hasn't been too high (100-110) but the humidity has jumped (47% and 93 degrees already at 8:26 in the morning), prompting news guys to start crying El Nino again already.

My kids & hubby went to a Dodger game in LA last weekend - they brought sweatshirts because it was supposed to be in the 70's - 80's that afternoon/evening. Funny thing is - they WORE them. lol How sad is that? And LA folk were complaining about a heat wave because it climbed to 90-something around noon that day.

However this: http://www.cnn.com/2004/WEATHER/08/12/storms/index.html worries me... I hope everyone has a safe trip in and out of Florida. Guess I'm glad my bum knee kept me off a plane this time around... ya'll be careful out there!

:unsure:

WHY??!! :ph34r: [/b][/quote]
Money. :P

Money. :P [/b][/quote]
The best reason!

:)

I really need to think about getting a summer place up in Vancouver or somewhere up North where it's cooler.....

Its been hellahot this summer up here!

LOL
