CALIFORNIA HEAT WAVe~~~~~~~~~~108 DEGREES!~!~!

Options
Just a reminder.......I live in the Central Valley of CA - it is 108 degrees here RIGHT NOW. If you live where it is hot, please be sure to check on your elderly, handicapped folks, keep your kiddles inside and be sure that your animals have plenty of water.......I know that alot of peeps have AC (I do not....we have swamp cooler). But just a walk out to the mailbox can prove to be too much. Offer to get the mail, go to the store or run errands for these folks..................................make it a check on your buddy day.

Ok, thats it.....getting off the box and putting the megaphone down...gotta go check on my neighbor.

:drinker:

    I am sure it is really hot and can be difficult for some people but I kind of envy you: South West England, rain rain rain and more rain and only 55 degrees, tell m if I am wrong but I thought we were in August!

    Hahahaha, try North West England - it's even worse. gale force winds and torrential rain, it's like flippin' November, not August! Of course with a bank holiday weekend coming up, we should be used to it eh?
    Weather forecast today "cloudy and damp with outbreaks of rain":frown:

    All you ladies in America, keep cool and look after yourselves. I have recently had 2 weeks holiday in Egypt and it was 111 degrees in the shade - my poor English constitution found it hard going, thank goodness for the swim-up pool bar!:laugh:
