102º on the patio right now. That's 254 in dog degrees. Luckily, we just installed a Trane. It's hard to stop a Trane. Having said that the CFE bucket
trucks are in the village and the current is probably bopping around a lot just about dinner time. All we can hope for is the populace wants salads
for dinner, not carnitas.

eastern washington-
reader board at the grocery store in town said 114F about an hour ago.
but I gotta admit.....their temp probe is on the roof of the store!
When we used to have the bank reader board, the grocery store was usually 4 degrees hotter than the bank. I'm going with 110F, more thunderstorms
predicted.
Last week on Thursday, a storm system came through here and there were 16 lightening strikes that resulted in fires. I can't remember the total
lightening count, I'll try to look it up. It made news on the TODAY show.
Hubby just said there were 2700 lightening strikes in 1 hour in our region of eastern WA.
right now,
90F outside, 32 humidity
77F inside

In Portland it was slightly over 100º and it's very humid. It's still hot outside even tho it's night time. I wish I had a/c I am sweating to death.
Feels like a sauna in my apt. It's too hot to eat; all I've had today was a coupla cookies in the morning. It's gonna be even hotter for a few
days. I wish I could go to the beach.

I found if I sleep on a beach towel it helps with the sticky and a fan on high might allow some sleep. Last night I tried the little AC and closed up
the bedroom and it got down to 84º but brought the humidity way down around 45%. Can't do that every night though cuz I've to run the generator.

Russ,
I found out that if you keep that room, where the humidity dropped significantly because of the AC, closed off as tight as you can , it will help
against the heat and will be much more comfortable. Now if I could only convince my wife of this.....

Nancy--In a desert survival course I took many years ago a trick we learned with dealing with extreeme heat at night so a person cpould sleep was to
gather up some 1 gal. milk jugs and fill with water and freeze them. Place by your feet and legs at night and it will help a little bit... Honest...
Hang in there! ++C++

Holy/Moly Crusoe. If-n you had a freezer......water" extreeme heat"...... ........ Survival course? That certainly would take a "desert survival
course" to survive those conditions! Just kidin that probably would help some

I gotta try that! I've only got one jug right now but one's better than none! (that sounded tragically obscene)
Thanks for the pointer. In Oaxaca, sometimes we'd sleep in our panties with a wet towel covering us.

Now that's quite a trick, surviving in the desert while you have a freezer with you.
Maybe should unplug the freezer and plug in the A/C.
See how smart I am. Can't believe you didn't think of that.

In Seattle today we are expecting a high of 97 and tomorrow over 100. Heat wave is expected to last through the week. Hard to believe that it will
be hotter here tomorrow than Loreto. All we now need is for the power grid to go down. Yesterday there were some brownouts in areas. I think I need
to escape to Loreto to cool down!!!

Vandy---It sounds as if you are surviving in a desert atmosphere! I'll bet you have a freezer? And an air condtioner? It all comes down to many
survival modes. Stay cool.++C++
