A Little Warm Here....

So, in celebration for going to the gym twice yesterday I decided to visit the pool today. Bohn Jrantley made it known that he wanted to go today as well.  At 9:45 we head off to the bus stop to catch the shuttle.  We got there and met up with "doc" Copeland the senior medic in Zombie Platoon. He is older than I am, and is still alive,  so that makes me feel good.  Anyway, the radio is on and they give out a weather update.  The 11:00 temp was .........104 degrees!!!   Needless to say it was, um, warm.....no, actually it was hot.  It was the thermal shielding is not working upon re-entry through the atmosphere hot. The sun is much closer in this hemisphere.....something like only 1,000 miles away I think.
We didn't stay too long either.  You could literally feel your skin cooking.  There was a slight burning smell in the air and small wisps of smoke coming off your skin on occasion.  It was so hot I couldn't even admire the 6 girls in their colorful bikinis.  I mean, I am guessing that there might have been about six there.  I don't really know of course because I wasn't looking.  And I love my beautiful wife.  Lots.

Tomorrow is supposed to get above 110 for the first time officially and Thursday is forecast to reach 116.

Stay Classy, America.
