Ohhh the heat

You guys in the south might be used to this, but 4 days of 100+ temps, and 106F in Portland yesterday with humidity and no AC was too much to handle. Portland might set a heat record today. I read where NW Ca might hit 115F?

We've sought refuge on the coast. 65F :)

It's been bad here too. Probably already been over 80 a couple of times this summer. Steve

The humidity! I've had sweat dripping off my beard since Sunday. It's times like this when I miss Reno.

No f'in way Ford.

Re: Ohhh the heat

I'm with you Z, 67 degrees is perfect. You can always put on more clothes, but only take off so many.

Saw 51 today driving through Montana and Nodak. Lots of bundling up in layers this "summer".

Zane, there's probably still a razor by the sink...why suffer the sweat and skin rash? Beards can grow back you know... Back here our mech's Dave and Andy often shave their heads at the beginning of summer - then do it again the next year. Saves on haircut costs for overpaid GA professionals... :D
