Obviously, because it never ever gets this hot in Oklahoma in the middle of August.

But it's a dry heat right?Originally Posted by Harry Beanbag

Don't worry Sic, I'm not going all global warming/climate chang-y on ya. I still think the whole anthropromorphic climate change theory is bull****e. I do believe climate changes, of its own accord, and has done for eleventy-bajillion years. But what we humans do, or spew, has precious little to do with it. Exhibit "A": dinosaur extinction. Exhibit "B": the last "Ice Age" which occurred, and ended, long before humans started spewing anything.
That said, it's hotter than the hinges on the back door of Hell and I'm sick of it. White people are not suited for this kind of heat.

Yep. The humidity is what's so bad here. There's so much vegetation in Vicksburg that the entire city is like one giant greenhouse.
Would that veg be kudzu? No kiddin, if you watch it closely for a few minutes on a hot, sunny day, you can actually observe its growth.

Yep, that's exactly what it is. There are parts of Vicksburg that look like something out of Jurassic Park with all the kudzu. I keep expecting to see a velociraptor.
My wife, who is from SC, an area literally covered with the stuff, often says; "the thing about kudzu is, it can cover a whole lot of ugly." As in, abandoned house trailers, washing machines, cars, etc.

1. It's a pet peeve of mine when people say "in the shade." By definition the official temperature is measured in the shade so saying so is redundant. It's also a pet peeve of mine when someone at a football game puts a thermometer on a football field and talks about how it's 120 or whatever. Again, that isn't an apples/apples comparison. When we experience a 105 day we associate that with what we feel out in the sun - sometimes walking down an asphalt parking lot.I don't care who ya are, that's hottt!

2. As for Global Warming, of course a heat wave is almost irrelevant but, frankly, every time we get a snowstorm the deniers come out in force so it's only fair for the believers to throw it back at them...
One other thing, as for cyclic climate change in Earth's history, the difference now is the rate of change. We've never experienced anything like the rate of change we've had over the last 100 years. That is something that needs to be addressed. Maybe you question the numbers, the ways of measuring historical temperatures, or the significance of the rate of change but it does need to be addressed.

We had 40 consecutive days over 100 in 1980......
Hey... maybe T BOONE can pony up and start a Stilleater newspaper... but the players would probably just use it to roll the weed.
It's a b!tch in San Joaquin County today ....

It's all the way down to 93 right now for me.
Let's address it. It's hot.
Ok, now what?
I'm an a**hole...
I walk around in the summer time saying, "How about this heat?"
