For those of you in the South West, please heed the heat warning
it's eleven in the morning, and the medical calls for heat stroke and postration are off the scale, as well as two full rescues... both heat related.
Thankfully no wild fire yet...
We really do not want to hear any of you got heat stoke ok.

7. it looks like sidewalk egg cooking time
It can be a good way to teach kids the danger of a hot sidewalk

5. So far so good from the Fire Fighting perspective
I covered a fire in Lakeside and my temp gauge read 40 centigrate (100+)... with all that nomex and long pants, and boots, I was drinking water like well... (I keep the jeep's gauge in Centigrade since I get it better)

The current heat map for the whole region is just breath taking.
And I got an app on my machine that gives me the CURRENT conditions...
If 40 centigrates equal 104 fahrenheits, then one centimeter equals 1.73 fahrenheits.
Yup, suffice it to say that's roughly equal to five feet of hailstones, and it gets worst.
Breaking News. It's ****ing hot outside.
I heard someone on the radio lamenting the high temperature... in Death Valley. :whatever:
It's actually sort of nice here today. High 80's.
Why's the cousin making a big deal about "scanner duty"?
It's like "watching television duty."
:rofl:

The people in the southwest really need her advice...

21. I am glad to live in the coast
But damn medical calls are...now often and the power outages have started. I can predict my local utility

WHAT???
:rofl:
Well, just so everybody knows, just like the cousin has "scanner duty," I've got "star-watching duty" tonight.
See you tomorrow.
STFU Nadin.Remember nadin's warning - You have to be careful about postration in all those centigrates down there in the South West.
It was 117 degrees around 1:30 or 2pm. After 110, it all feels the same.

14. I suggested, as an example to kids in the 7 and older set
The cooking an egg on pavement exercise...it does drive the point home.
A gent today went to the burn center after he fell on pavement.
Yeah, that happened :thatsright:.

I wonder how Kirk, the Las Vegas Leviathan, handles the heat. He won't work, so can't afford AC, and he's encased in those grotesque layers of blubber. He can't find size 15EEEEEE shoes for his flipperfeet, so he can't go outside on the hot pavement. He's a moonbat, so if he's suffering he richly deserves it.
How about dropping 3 stone's weight?
I've heard an inflamed postrate can cause weight gain. Nads might want to get hers checked out.
Are we going to take up a collection for the doctor that does that?

Right around 78-80 yes.

The postration is going to get all you bullies.

Wow, you and I have the same assignment. :rotf:
I have watched that movie over and over again, never get tired of seeing it.

I just honestly have no idea how I have been able to live in the desert climate before Nadin came around to give me advice. I love taking advice about the desert climate from people who don't even live in one.

This is a perfect argument for medical robots.
Leave it to the bald dwarf, that lives in the city with the best year-round weather in California, to advise the people in Arizona, inland California, and Nevada how they should deal with the heat. :whatever:
I grew up in Phoenix. I know heat.
Mr Mannn's tips on surviving a heat wave:
1) Crank the AC. Seriously. crank it. Far better to put extra blankets on the bed than to sweat.
2) If you can't do #1, hang out at the mall. believe me, they crank that AC at malls, they want you to hang out there!
3) Make some tea. get a big jar, toss in tea backs and put it outside. wala: Sun Tea.
4) Ice cream. eat some.
5) watch a video. If you have to exercise, get a freakin treadmill. It's hot outside.
6) if you can escape to the mountains, by all means do so. Cool, fresh air. stars at night. Life is good.
7) it's only 3 -5 months of heat. the rest of the year it's great outside. stop complaining.
I've never made sun tea, but wanted to yesterday. I'll try it this weekend. It's still going to be 105-110 degrees.
I like my tea without sweetener. When will it be ready? :-)Hot tea should not have sugar in it.

I worked 7 to 3 today, had a therapy session (physical, not mental) then came home and watered my trees. It was getting warm outside. I am drinking ice tea right now. Work was busy. First of the month.
The EBT shoppers come out in this heat?They're buying corn starch and flour.

They have been hungry for a few days. :-)Maybe they'd like some biscuits. (http://www.conservativecave.com/index.php/topic,88456.msg1099121.html#msg1099121)
