Title: It is So Hot ....

Ok, I know that Donna will not agree with this, but even 103 and 104 temps are better than 3 feet of white stuff coming out of the sky!
Kidding aside, today is already an altert day here in the DC region, please remember to keep yourselves hydrated and check on your senior neighbors and parents. Rich is planning "lite" days all week. AND remember, when it finally does rain, the roads are going to be nice and oily from the lack of rain.
Be careful out there, please?

Your right....Snow would be great right now. Also, don't forget your backyard birds. Even if you don't have a birdbath, put out a tin or any shallow platter with some water in it. They will appreciate it. I saw too many yesterday panting, looking for a quick drink. :(

We are changing the water several times during the day (also keep the bugs from laying eggs in the water).

I wish they could change the pool water as often, feels like bath water. Maybe a few bags of ICE.

If you can get a block of ice (5 - 10 lbs, maybe 25) it will help. Toss that bad boy it the water and watch it melt!

No :laugh: Go to the ShopRite and the ice-machine (the larger stores will have the blocks). Marina always do for keeping the coolers and the fish cold.

I'm having to get up in the mornings to get my running in before the heat (and bad air) builds too much...and I am NOT a morning person...makes for one cranky Patti!

Patti, if it makes you feel a little bit better, it is ugly out there at 4 AM! Remember, we have that humidity thing on the Bay, which isn't the same as Louisville humidity. There IS Good news in this!!! My hair is loving the moisture! Ok, I'm reaching here, but I'm looking for that silver lining. Please be carefull Patti because it is ugly even before the sun comes up.

I think you have it a little hotter there...our highs this week are only in the mid to upper 90's. The humidity is rather nasty, but tomorrow morning by the time I finish my run at 8:00 am, it will "only" be 78 with a heat index of 86 (69% humidity). That won't be fun, but I have a high-tolerance for heat, and it's only a short run, so I should be fine. Last weekend when I got in a nine-mile run I got up at 6:00 am to do it. :P

OMG Patti! My feat is walking from my car to work. I was thinking today how a few years ago, I went to WAshington, DC (to see Tai Shan) and I was really out of sorts with the heat and humidity. I have zero tolerance! Good for you for running!

Man! I'm sitting in my office with my sandels off and my feet are swelling! Ugly, ugly conditions on the bay, but Louisville (still one of my favorite cities) sounds much better by comparision.
