HEAT WAVE

[Jimr]

Only 103 in Torrance. Pretty easy to stay comfortable with a tower fan. Unless, of course, the electricity is turned off.

Well, my horse, CR died last night, and it is going to 110 today, and I'm trying to find a renderer to pick him up... on a Sunday.. sigh..

So sorry to see this Russ, hopefully CR wasn't in too much pain.

Looks like a heart attack. Just fell over onto the fence. Not tangled up. No cuts.. Upper 20's is a good run for a horse anyway.
Vinny died when he was 33, so a really good run.

Hit 95 at my house yesterday. About as warm as it gets. Rarely will hit 100, maybe 1 or 2 days every few years. But then again this at 5100 feet.
I have a small shaded alcove in my yard under three trees. Surrounded by lawn and catches an afternoon breeze. It stays 20 degrees cooler than the surrounding air. I went outside and read for a couple hours yesterday. Quite pleasant. The birds were active at the feeder and fountain. The songs filled the air.

115 here Sat and Sun. I had to go outside and cover up my pepper plants because the sun was literally cooking the fruit. It reminded me of the time a guy from Lowes came out to measure the house for carpeting. He said something like "global warming is no big deal...we've got a fix for it. It's called air conditioning!" I didn't say anything for obvious reasons, but I was thinking "you stupid effing moron...you gonna air condition farms and ranches too, so we can still grow food?'

No doubt he led a good life with your care. RIP Vinny.
