Re: HOT enough for you?
 

The devil wanted a place on earth
Sort of a summer home
A place to spend his vacation
Whenever he wanted to roam.

So he picked out Arizona
A place both wretched and rough
Where the climate was to his liking
And the cowboys hardened and tough.

He dried up the streams in the canyons
And ordered no rain to fall
He dried up the lakes in the valleys
Then baked and scorched it all.

Then over his barren country
He transplanted shrubs from hell.
The cactus, thistle and prickly pear
The climate suited them well.

Now the home was much to his liking
But animal life, he had none.
So he created crawling creatures
That all mankind would shun.

First he made the rattlesnake
With it's forked poisonous tongue.
Taught it to strike and rattle
And how to swallow it's young.

Then he made scorpions and lizards
And the ugly old horned toad.
He placed spiders of every description
Under rocks by the side of the road.

Then he ordered the sun to shine hotter,
Hotter and hotter still.
Until even the cactus wilted
And the old horned lizard took ill.

Then he gazed on his earthly kingdom
As any creator would
He chuckled a little up his sleeve
And admitted that it was good.

T'was summer now and Satan lay
By a prickly pear to rest.
The sweat rolled off his swarthy brow
So he took off his coat and vest.

"By Golly," he finally panted,
"I did my job too well,
I'm going back to where I came from,
Arizona is hotter than Hell."

God I hate the English sometimes. When it rains, we moan about the rain. When it's cold, we moan about it being cold. Now we have gloriously hot, dry weather and everyone's *****iung that it's too hot! Next person to tell me it's too hot gets locked in the freezer.

On a lighter note, I live about 5 minutes' walk from the beach, and I'm loving it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif Nyer nyer http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Meh, Arizona isn't that bad. Lately the humidity has been up which isn't much fun, but for all the heat it really is tollerable. I work day in and day in and day out outside doing physical labor and it really isn't that bad.

CNN is reporting that French officials think as many as 3,000 people have died because of the heat. That's a lot. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">there's only one conclusion that can be drawn from this. THE HEAT HAS BAKED ADUNN'S BRAIN!

Re: HOT enough for you?
 

Well, it is finally tolorable around here.
You just have to avoid the afternoon high of 100++ F.
Other than that, it is in the cool 90's now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Re: HOT enough for you?
 

Yup,it's definitely cooler now. The days are getting shorter, too.

Re: HOT enough for you?
 

And it just warmed up down here. The room I work in catches the afternoon sun. This week it's just uncomfortable, soon it will be like an oven.
