And, at least where I am, it's not a dry heat.

Yes, and the lake at Big Spring doesn't always have water.

Same here. It is like a nice rice cooker. 93 but real feel around 113.

Iowa  :laugh: ... it's actually cool and rainy today. Nice change.

Jr. year in high school the family stayed at Possum Kingdom lake for a few days as part of a business trip for dad's work. All I remember is that it was hot, and the southern sun would fry you in about 3 hours. But it was also one of the most enjoyable memories of my childhood.

I've got in-laws in Iowa.  I wonder if they'd put me up for a bit.  Like until mid-September?

Unfortunately it's been mid-90's lately and humid. A couple of 100 degree days. Not been fun out working in the garden of late.

I hear that!  I can only handle about 30 minutes at a time working in the yard right now.  Then I have to come in for some more iced tea.

I take my two younger dogs for a brief walk in the morning. When we come back in, I give them a rub down with ice cubes. They love it!
