Awful.  And it will only continue to get worse unless we get serious about our treatment of the Earth.

I can't even imagine how hot that must feel .. I thought 105F was extreme when that heat wave hit here a few years back.

It was 103 on my covered patio today.  Awful.  My poor fur babies were miserable.  I have a new puppy, a Golden, and with the hair all she did was lie there and pant. I was trying to get her to go potty outside but none of us wanted to leave the patio. She pottied 4 times in the house.

I feel your pain! It only made it to 95F here today, but it felt like 100+ with the humidity.

It's only going to get hotter as the week progresses here.

I can hardly stand it.

It's awful.  Fill a tub with water and ice.  Everybody in the pool!

That's actually a pretty good idea!
