Oppressive, brutal, airless, humid, stifling, suffocating.
No relief, even at night.
Can August possibly be as bad or worse?
I've survived many summers without air conditioning
but I do not remember any this bad.
I put ice cubes in Sparky's water bowl.
I drink ice water by the gallon.
Chunks of cold watermelon is my favorite food.
July has been a horrible month for lots of reasons
but, this heat. is. the. worst.

good one dear, but please
don't away melt....
I mean you'll still be as uncomfortable,
but more, you don't look as good in a belt.
It is amazing that we survived back in the 50's and 60's. We did have an attic fan that was turned on at night to hopefully draw a little cool air in through the windows. Us country folk looked down on citified folks with their air conditioning in their cars.
One time my uncle Jim ordered a new Allis Chalmers tractor as the old one broke down in the middle of the harvest.
When it was delivered there was a metal roof over the drivers seat. Grandpa threw a fit when told it cost $500 more and insisted they take it back and remove it. Uncle still had that tractor till a few years ago and it never had a cover other than the straw hat on his head.
Put some jazz on the hi-fi and pretend you're cool. Gotta snap your finger to the beat.
Wishing you cool breezes, and a better August . . .
Heat index 110

We're into the xxxx heat indices, too. It's bad going from FREEZING at work to MELTING at home.
I will try to dream you a brief reprieve. You may not have suffered enough, none of us can... but you are beloved. So, I will try to dream you some of the cool of our nights. I don't deserve them.
I merely jest, mostly. :p Well, except for trying to dream you up some cool. I will try.
