Usually though...whatever it's at...it stays at it even while I'm driving...

Yeah its been all the way down to the mid 70's... With winter coming we'll soon see upper 60's and then have to break out the cold weather gear...

Gotta LOVE summer time though! I'd rather sweat than shiver from the cold.

I had 102 yesterday after it'd sat a while. The actual high was 95, but it's hotter in asphalt parking lots and the highways.

Hate to say so, but this summer has been so hot and humid that I've been remiss about washing as often as I would like ... and haven't waxed since May. Not to mention that we're having very frequent afternoon thunderstorms that make a mess.

I'm ready for fall ....

Yes, but the humidity is 98%. You can't do anything without breaking out in a sweat.

Ain't that the truth. I try to not complain about the heat because I sure as heck hate the snow and winter months up here.
