Thread: Too darned hot

Ok, it hit triple digits in San Jose today and I have *no* a/c. It's still in the low 90's this evening. I have a 7% or so homebrew IPA on tap right now and this is probably a bad combination It's so hot I just keep pounding them down... bad planning on my part, I need to have one of my low alcohol brews on tap but this is all I have ready to drink at the moment.

Last night it was hot too and so I took a cold shower to cool down, got my chihuahua in the shower with me to cool off, then he and I laid sprawled out in front of the fan all evening. Was funny, he was laying on his back with all 4 paws in the air in front of the fan, just like the dog in the commercial

Too damned hot. I think I need to move...

I got a portable room air conditioner for our new apartment that REALLY keeps the bedroom cool, when the main air conditioner doesnt reach the bedroom or we dont want to cool the whole apartment just to keep the bedroom cold. It was about $500.00 with something like 12 months no interest or something like that at bestbuy. Might help.

I'm from Southern Europe and I live in Canada. Therefore my philosophy is that +40 is always better than -40 Btw. +40 is definitely in the triple digits when converted to Fahrenheits.

Hey Gary, come on over Phoenix way. It was only 110F today... course it's a 'dry heat', lol -- the humidity dropped to around 7% this afternoon.

I have seen Phoenix's dry heat 115. I visted once in January hen it was like 80 the again in August and 115. Everyone keep telling me it was dry heat. I told them to stick there heads in an oven that is dry heat too just too damm hot...
January was great though. 35 in NYC 80 in Phoenix nice difference.

I second that. Except that I don't think it ever gets this hot in Toronto. I think there was +40 over a few days in the 1930s, and some people died.

We rarely even get 37.8 (100 F). Now, with the humidex, that's a different story, but that's cheating

Personally, I love this time of the year. All those Canadians who bitch and complain should imagine scratching their wind shield clean of ice and snow. The heat will be more agreeable instantly :P

If I remember it correctly, we went as high as 38 last summer and there was quite a bit of humidity. In any case they'll start b*tching about how you can dress up for the cold and can't dress down for the heat. Therefore, we will always have 5 reasons to complain:
1) The weather (only justifiable in the winter)
2) The taxes Does anyone else in the world have it worse?
3) Traffic/road construction (who doesn't?)
4) Work conditions (hey we're in North America and not in Europe/Australia, therefore working sucks)
5) The Leafs (one day we WILL have a hockey team in Toronto)
