It's something new to report on incessantly, don't complain. It keeps all the really really depressing news about the state of the world at bay, if only to see yet another death toll calculation from the current heat wave...

theres heat and then there's HEAT.

normal heat for this area is mid/high 80's during the day time and mid/high 70's at night.

today it was in the high 90's / low 100's during the day and didn't cool off at all at night.

Yup. Jersey is usually below 90's almost all summer. Just maybe 1-2 days. This is a heat wave thats lasting like a week... with a crapload of humidity which makes it 2x as bad.

Oh sure - I also have proof that Karl Rove's weather machine is behind it all (you know, the one that caused the hurricanes last year).

My sophomore-senior year in HS I worked at Sea World San Antonio in park operations. I was outside 95% of the time. Once you've been out in it for about a week, you're body just gets used to it.
