Hi Adam and List,

Well, at least it is a dry heat........ ;)

Seriously though, that kind of heat is lethal. I knew it got hot out
there, but I had no idea it got up to 140F. That is nuts.

I just told my wife and she said - "Why would anyone want to live there?" LOL

I told her - METEORITES.

I won't complain any more when the temps hit the 90's here in Florida.
  We get brutal humidity that makes the air feel like you are
breathing pudding. The heat index regularly hits 105 or 110 during
the summer here, but that feels positively comfortable compared to
140F!

Best regards and stay cool,

MikeG
