I'm just outside NORVA myself, and yup! been too hot to do anything but hide in the AC. My horses all think they're on vacation, but my butt's not going out there and riding in this heat. I'm off to a car show tomorrow in PA, hoping I don't melt!

GREAT photo effects!!! Get this---- in Arizona our state legislature made it LEGAL to purchase fireworks anywhere and everywhere in the state that is a literal tenderbox AND where it is almost universally ILLEGAL to USE fireworks (by city ordinances). Can anyone say KICKBACK from the fireworks industry?

Have a great Fourth of July.
It was 99 here today and is supposed
to hit 100 tomorrow. The worst part
is we have had less than an inch of
rain in the last 50 days.......

Right down HWY 95 from you Wolfdog in Raleigh NC. Three days of 100+ this past weekend broke heat records. Now it has cooled down to 90's. Don't want to see my AC bill this mo.
