    Ha!

    Fortunately things there have improved today, and by the time we get there on Monday night I think it will mostly be over, I hope so for all of C Springs sake.....

    I hope so too.
    Those fires are so frightening and destructive.
    Colorado Springs is a beautiful place.
    I lived there for a couple of years as a child.
    Have good trip!

    108 in STL metro yesterday, a record.

    My MINI thermometer was 112-113 on my evening commute, driving in stop-n-go on I-70, surrounded by cars and heat-trapping concrete.

    Supposed to cool off some on Sunday: 102. Oh, that's LOTS better.

    It's supposed to be 95 here, but when I left for work it already felt like soup :(

    Humidity is way up there today. I can only work outside for 30 minutes at a stretch. I feel for those folks to have to work outside all day in this kind of heat.

    I'll bet Nathan, coming from Texas, thinks this is pleasant.

    It has been hitting 100 degrees most days here in Dallas lately. There is a high of 95 forecast for Sunday, so I'm saving my MINI wrenching for then!
