It's hot as hell...

Holy God it is hot here today. I was out in the 106 degree heat for a few hours and thought I was going to die. The high today was 111. I drank a bottle of water an hour all day and never peed once. Hot hot hot!

Thank goodness I am not in NY or some of the other places back east where they have no power. I don't know how people are standing it. Once I got home today, I cranked the AC up, took a nice cool shower and have no plans to leave the house again until it gets dark.

I can remember in college when I spent the summer in Pullman. It was horribly hot (low 100's) and there was no AC in my summer apartment. I would come home from work, take a shower and go to bed. On my days off, I did things like go to whatever movie was playing so I could cool off or go to McDonalds to study since they kept the dining room nice and cool. Some things about growing up aren't bad-feeling like AC is a luxury is surely one of them.

I worry about my 95-year-old grandmother in this heat. I have called to check on her a couple of times today. She's inside and cool and just finished napping while watching tv. Seems to be all good there.
