1. We were over a hundred then sat in high 90's now going to low 90's, last day before dipping to

80's. I so hear you. I have air and I hate using it. I have to be dying. Used it for a couple three hours the last two days, first time ever. I hate the heat, hate it hate it. I was saying this on my walk with dog just now, to every person I saw.

Hi.... I hate the heat, lol. The only thing I truly whine about.

2. I'm with you on the heat

It is immobilizing. I spent the day sitting in the shade but did not accomplish much until a nice breeze came up.

4. Right. I have lived elsewhere where it was much hotter and people would talk about being outside

now that summer was here. NO ONE went outside, all stuck in house, windows closed air on. I was outside less in hotter climates than I was in the winter.
