Yeah, I figured you and immlass would be far less amused by this weather than I am. :)

Trade ya. It hasn't been below 98 degrees in about 2 weeks here. I'd give anything for some chilly weather.

Dear August,

Please feel free to take a trip up to New Jersey.

No love,
Houston

Hey, now. I believe mcroft was inviting the New Jersey August to come back. You keep your Houston August to yourself. :)

But...but...I got to wear cute boots today. And a tweed skirt. I like this weather. *pout*

Paul Harvey, who annoys me more and more, used New York weather to take a cheap shot at Global Warming this morning. And then he went on to pimp his occular nutrition vitamins by sagely referring to scientific studies proving that it works.

He needs to be beaten to within an inch of his life with a clue by four. I'm just saying.

Things any better in New Jersey yet? I'd share some of our weather if I could:

VERY HOT WEATHER WILL BE IN PLACE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK
WEEK ACROSS CENTRAL INDIANA. NEAR RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE
MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S AND HIGH HUMIDITIES WILL PRODUCE HEAT INDEX
VALUES IN EXCESS OF 100 FOR CENTRAL INDIANA THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
AFTERNOONS.

USE CAUTION IF YOU WILL BE OUTSIDE DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS...DRINK PLENTY OF WATER..AND AVOID STRENUOUS
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES IF POSSIBLE.

He's a radio announcer, right?

I suppose he's a tobacco announcer.

This kind of shite really annoys me.

Exxon, a company for whom I have greater regard than most, does this same stuff. It's infuriating. Their competitors are building a future business model where Exxon is marginalized and Exxon is paying tobacco climatologists to tell Exxon what it wants to hear. As a shareholder, I need Exxon to be preparing for a future where the real and regulatory climates are different, and they're paying to have their head buried in sand.

Quotation of the Day for August 19, 2007

"At one point he said, 'Well, global warming can't be going on because we just had an ice storm here in April,'. I mean, can we review that global warming means that the upper atmosphere is warming, which is creating really weird and severe climate incidents -- like ice storms in Dallas in April?"

High of 78 today, and Saturday might kiss 90, then back to 80s. So, we're done with 50s for a while, at least.

According to the NWS, it's been 67 years since Philadelphia had 3 consecutive days under 70 degrees in August.
