Not so much.  Running in the high 60's, maybe low 70's here.  To me, one of the few benefits of living on the California coast.  It don't make up for having to put up with ridiculous house costs, repressive gun laws, $3.00 a gallon gasoline, liberal politicians, etc., but the weather is temperate.

It's only 'sposed to get up to 103 degrees here today,.... then "warm up" tomorrow to 105.  :USA
I see back in 1939, it warmed up to 112 degrees here,.... I'm sure glad it has cooled down some since I moved to the plains.  :laffing

I don't know John, sure is a lot to put up with for a little weather. Course I might change my mind next winter.

Hank, yep, it sure is.  Seems like I ask myself every day what the heck I am doing here.  Well, there are the family ties.  That is mighty powerful.  Other than that - not so much.  No doubt I will be here until my mom passes on.  Until then, I will just gripe a bit.

It's supposed to hit 98 tomorrow here in eastern Washington. So far it hasn't been an overly hot summer, but it sure has been more humid than normal.

Yep, what he said.
My personal problem, here in eastern Washington, is not so much the hot days, but those humidity spikes....
When it's hot and you're used to seeing 25 / 30 even 45% humidity, you don't mind the heat so much.
But then, the very next day, when the humidity spikes to 60 / 75% , it knocks the life out of me. I can't work, or play, when the humidity gets up high like that.
Last Sat.we had temperatures of 99 and the humidity was 72%...it was too hot to fish, and that's pretty dadburn hot!

That's a fish story if I ever heard one.
Pretty good, though, Al, keep it up.

Aww, let him go Hank, quite often brother Al's words are better'n Chicken Soup For The Soul, and I never fail to read his words of wit....
One of these days I'm going to get him up here, spend a day or three in the boat with him, if you can imagine that.
