Weather forecast: 107 degrees on Thursday

Spending my summers in central Tennessee when I was a kid taught me to fear and respect the triple digit heat combined with 90%+ humidity. I <3 Nevada.

It takes some getting used to. On high humidity days doing anything outdoors beyond a slow walk means you're drenched in sweat within a minute or two. You just have to take care of all your outdoor stuff at once or take several showers per day.

And A/C is a blessing straight from the gods. I never truly appreciated it until I moved here.

I've never felt so completely deflated by the heat. Yuck.

I was in Iowa visting families during some summer floods way back I think 1997/8 and the humidity was amazing, I had to mow my grandmas lawn which was patch of grass like 5 x 10 feet and almost died.

I also lived in Arkansas for 5 years while I didn't get all used to the humidity totally it did toughen me up a bit.

+1 for the humidity in Montreal last year, as we raced into the subway...that was pretty brutal..

All this talk of heat reminds me to buy another water sprayer for the next event.

"Fool, it's hot! I told you again! Were you born on the sun? It's damn hot! It's so damn hot, I saw these little guys, their orange robes burst into flames. It's that hot! Do you know what I'm talking about?" What do you think it's going to be like tonight? "It's gonna be hot and wet! That's nice if you're with a lady, but ain't no good if you're in the jungle!" Thank you, Roosevelt."
