H-O-T Hot

Well, what do ya' expect? It's summer, isn't it? Here in Olathe, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City, it's always hot in summer. My son and his fiance were married almost eleven years ago in KC. Members of the wedding party and guests stayed at a Holiday Inn. It was a sweltering 100+ when the air conditioning went out. Somehow we all survived.
You've heard the old saw about Arizona and it being a dry heat.  Yeah, right. If I put you in an oven and set the temperature at 114 that'd be a dry heat but you'd also fry like crispy bacon. Norton Dam, Kansas set an all-time record of 118 yesterday. Norton Dam is in far western Kansas and borders Nebraska. Only somebody like Dorothy would say about Kansas, "there's no place like home".
I stayed with a friend at his place in Tucson last July. It was the same as here except because of being on Pacific time I went to bed at 7 and woke up at 4:30. On W.C. Fields epitaph it is written,  I'd rather be in Philadelphia". No big break their either. It's hotter than Hades. Don't ya' know. It's summer.
