Mine does, too, but I've only seen the actual temperature go over 120 (in the shade) a couple of times.   :shrug:

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

I'm an old lady. I can't convert American standards to metric because my generation never learned how.  Makes me nuts when I get, say, a package of crackers and the serving size is X grams.  What the H is that?    LOL

I guess if I had children or grandchildren, they would be useful for that purpose.

Then you Remember when asshat Jimmmah "the Peanut" CArter tried to get us to convert.  Speed limit signs with the Double Nickle posted in big letters and under it the stupid metric number. equivalent! Then  that commie bitch Joan Claybrook the queen of the third tail lamp made car manufactures install Speedometers that only went to 85 MPH and they included speed in Meters!!!

Good God the horror of those days.

Anyone who has done drugs or been involved with drugs knows what a gram and kilogram is. All drug dealers and alcoholics know the metric system. Today alcohol is only sold by the liter, except beer.

I'm confused.  I know Mensa member Shirley Jackson Lee once asked if the Pathfinder succeeded in taking pictures of the American flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong.    But when did Russia?

Russia once crashed some of the debris they call "a spacecraft" on the moon...

That's one of the troubles with liberal Democrats.  They don't believe in American exceptionalism and uniqueness.  Always trying to make the US into Europe.  If the Founding Fathers wanted us to be like Europe, they would have never lfought the Revolutionary War to get us out from under English tyranny.

Unfortunately, Democrats are still trying to make us a part of Europe.  As Cyber pointed out, liquor is mostly measured in metric.  And I'm seeing it more and more on groceries and other products.    Obama always wanted the US to knuckle under to the UN.  If Trump doesn't do anything else right, at least he is making the effort to reverse Obama's efforts to turn us into Euroweenies.

One mile from the ocean in the OC  3:30 pm = 70 F

It is brutal, I tell you. Ocean breeze picks up about this time, to keep it cool.

I have never lived in a house with AC.

I can vouch for that. I would have noticed you at the dinner table. And you would have noticed me. I would be the one with the orange toupee and “Trump is God” tattooed across my chest.

I got a great deal of satisfaction out of writing good tight code that got the job done and done well. But is fun to drive around Texas City, League City and Bacliff and see the building I built/helped to build.

It is Tuesday, 1:27 pm, 20 miles north of Dallas and it is 100 degrees.

That is so disparaging to all them Mensonites, alluding that No Count Sheila is a Mensan.
