    Wow! Didn't know Dallas got that hot.

    Down here Houston way, its in the high 90's and humid. Just right for a sauna.

    Evidently you have been forwarding some of that heat to north GA and north FL. I'm in N. GA right now and it has been up to 104 here... if memory serves me... the coolest day we've had in a week was 99.

    My daughter is in Burleson TX and she said it's been in 3 digits there too. Ken krb1945

    Down near Galveston, we haven't had double digit heat yet, but with the humidity we don't sweat, we condense.

    Oh... you noticed that, too, huh? I think South Texas needs to keep their humidity down there.

    Yup. Bro lived in Dallas for a while. Had to change the water in his kids pool 2x by noon - got too hot to play in. Was 115, 116, 110 the days I was there. Oh - 135 in the jetway - a/c was out.

    You think it is hot? Went to class for m/c licence. Was 108 on Saturday and 111 on Sunday. 130+ on the asphalt for test. It got down to 101 at midnight. All I can say is I am glad we live in Pahrump and not Las Vegas. Pahrump is 65 miles west but it is so near death valley desert. I have seen it 129 here. Oh well, could be worse. Could live in Seattle where the sun shines 2 days a year and it rains most of the time. Live long.

    Rode my Spyder today and the ambient temp reading was a cool 107 degrees. The good news is the missing air dam mod tested very well in this heat, and kept my Spyder at 4 bars on the temp gauge at 65 mph. The bad news is I wore a t-shirt and forgot to take sunscreen with me.
    Very Happy Spyder Ryder!

    We were only 95 degrees today.... with a wind chill factor of 108 degrees. What's up with that......
    Got back from Seattle this week... High temp...68.... lows in the low 50's.... I soaked up as much as I could..... but it ran out when we hit the airport in Houston...
