IT'S SO HOT .....REALLY - HOW HOT IS IT ?

.....the birds have to use potholders to pull the worms out of the ground. .....

The trees are whistling for the dogs. ...

..the best parking place is determined by shade instead of distance .....

Hot water comes from both taps. .....

You can make sun tea instantly. ....

.you learn that a seat belt buckle can be a branding iron. .....

The temperature drops below 90 F and you feel a little chilly. ....

.you discover that in July it only takes two fingers to steer your car. .....

You actually burn your hand opening the car door. .....

You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 A.M. .....

Your biggest motorcycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked off and end up lying on the hot pavement"? .....t

The potatoes cook underground, so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter. .....

The cows are giving evaporated milk. ...

..farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.

IT'S SO DRY that the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling, the Methodists Are using wet-wipes, the Presbyterians are giving rain checks, and the Catholics Are praying for the wine to turn back into Water!

Well Thom, I'm still here in So Cal with the 100+ weather waiting for the cool?? down. Unfortunately the winds have picked up along with the heat. Not a good thing where I live.

Beautiful Yucaipa. Right below Oak Glen, with Yucaipa Ridge as my backdrop. Wild weather yesterday. From Beaumont just south of us to flash flooding in Forest Falls about 10 minutes east of me.

- My birdbaths turned into Saunas - My fan had a heat stroke - The birds won't land on the wires - The fog on the lake is steam. - Jogging is now in slo-motion

Seriously, It's 71 and raining. Last night it was 38. Life here in So Cal mountains (7000 ft altitude) has it's benefits.

Wish I could share.

Only place I can think of in So Cal at 7000 is either the top of My San J or half way up 138 before the summit at 8400 ?? Anyway...reading the paper this morning and the little pond we fish at, like this past Friday, had a lightning strike that hit someone there yesterday.. And to think I thought about going there yesterday
