West enters Day 7 of heat wave as experts warn not to walk barefoot on hot asphalt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Tens of millions of Americans are under record-setting heat alerts again Friday as a heat wave enters its seventh day across the West, with experts warning against walking on asphalt barefoot or touching car handles barehanded for fear of third-degree burns.

Temperatures in Arizona, Nevada and Colorado soared into the 90s and 100s Thursday, but the sizzling heat also spread east to Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, breaking record after record where observed highs were sweltering by late spring standards.

Tucson, Arizona, Phoenix and Las Vegas all topped their previous records with temperatures above 110.

Denver hit 100 degrees again Thursday, making it a rare three-day stretch of temperatures in the triple digits. This is only the sixth time that has happened in the Mile-High City in recorded history and the earliest in the year it's ever occurred.

Don't eat yellow snow.
Don't lick a frozen pipe.
Don't piss on an electric fence...

3. You'd be surprised at how many dog owners forget about their pets in this regard...

It really is NOT funny.

4. Where I am (New York) in the winter it is people letting their dogs walk where they've put salt

on the ground to melt ice.
