On Wednesday June 15 at 307 PM EDT, the Tallahassee Regional Airport in Florida recorded a high temperature of 105 degrees. This temperature breaks the previous all time high temperature record for Tallahassee of 104 degrees, set most recently on June 20th 1933. The period of record for Tallahassee dates back to 1892.

5. With the 1930's like weather and economy
   
I'd say we're about this close to The Great Depression 2.0

Nahh 0bama says he's not worried about a double dip recession, so all is good.

6. I live in Tallahassee and yes, we're spontaneously combusting!
   
However, here's the thing. Prior to living in Tally, I lived in Miami. Miami has no trees. It's pure asphalt and they built deep into the Everglades, so nature is nowhere to be found. It's like a terrarium in that heat blends with humidity to create an unbearably suffocating situation. I couldn't walk 1 block in Miami before sweating like an Olympic athlete, or feeling I was about to pass out. Sweat does not dry there. EVER.

Here in Tally, it can be 105 and unpleasant, but it's not as unbearable as Miami.

I'd rather be here.

Wow this moonbat lives in the same town I do.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

I'm curious, did they put the thermometer in the middle of the parking lot like they do here? 

The Walgreens down the street put a fresh layer of pavement down the other summer and the sign that sits in the middle of that parking lot said 110º after they were finished.

Must be global warming.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Nah...but next time they're going to back the jet up closer to the thermometer.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

A while back, some guy did a pretty damning in-depth study of the temperature gauges that have been used over the past 40 years or so to "prove" global warming.  He found that many, many times, the boxes had either been inappropriately placed or the advance of civilization had encroached upon their placement.  These boxes were found to be sitting near sources of heat or heat increasing surfaces (like your parking lot).

I remember that.  I don't recall if it was 20/20, Dateline, or someone else.

Some were sitting near the exhausts of central air units, and other sources of generated not just radiated heat.

It is worth looking at http://www.surfacestations.org/ and http://wattsupwiththat.com. The surface staions project is at least one that you may have been referring to around station placement. wattsupwiththat is a good site that presents the other side of the global warming question.

Both well worth the time.
