  1. Damn! Do you have to stay or can you go somewhere for the weekend?
  2. Got a rainbow out of it and what looked like a small patch of mammantus. 83F/63F
  3. Storm is passing just to my north but am getting a light sun-shower, 85F.
  4. I’ve always wondered what electric bills are like there. Their AC must run nonstop.
  5. Went out to water the flowers around 9:30 this morning and haven’t opened the door since. 101F/DP 73F
  6. While we’ve been enjoying our mild stretch of weather, Flyers GMBD dropped some bombs… Giroux is back. Typical Flyers move, bringing back a former player. Don’t know what he has left in the tank, but they need someone to play center. And a huge offer sheet to Leo Carlsson.
  7. Smart puppers! Dipped down to 77F overnight, sitting at 83F post time. Looks like another day of hibernation in the AC.
  8. Astroturf came from the Astrodome. Those hayseeds in TX initially thought you could grow grass indoors. Big fail! And thus plastic grass was born. Funny because I just finished reading Roger Angell's "The Summer Game" where he writes about his first visit to the Astrodome in 1966 to "witness weatherless baseball played on chemstrand grass under an acrylic-painted Lucite sky".
  9. I remember going to an evening Phills game on a day like this, 1999 I think. Even though the game started at 7:05, the Vet spent all day absorbing the heat and sunlight. Even after the sun had set, the stadium continued to radiate out all that heat like a cement oven for the entire game.
  10. 92F/DP 78F ...that's about 10 degrees warmer than this time yesterday. If I haven't already made my opinion clear, I'm not a fan.
  11. I'd pay good money to have that cell over Allentown drift down the NE Extension. 96F/DP 78F
  12. Took one last Jebwalk this morning for the week. Already 82F/ DP72F. Of course, that's going to seem refreshing come the next several days.
  13. Currently my forecasted highs for Thursday and Friday are only 100F. Somehow that feels like a small victory. (But yeah, I taking the over.)
  14. How come heat waves don’t bust in the final 24 hours like snowstorms??
  15. Heard a lone cicada on this morning's Jebwalk. Seems a little early in the season, so maybe he's just an early riser. Finished with 1.05" last evening. I'm sure most was just run off, but hopefully whatever the lawn was able to absorb will help it survive the week. 70F/DP 69F
  16. From the “you can’t make this $hit up dept”, I’m under a passing shower. I’ll probably end up with more rain today (our rain-free day) than I did on our rainy Saturday.
  17. My AC died in July 2011. Went 2 or 3 weeks before a new one was installed. I wouldn’t say I got used to the heat so much as I came to accept the poor state of affairs I found myself in.
  18. Wonder if it will rival July 1995? And yeah, imma gonna say it… You know how that following winter turned out!
