Its hot in Portland this week! 100 degrees isn't too hot for other parts of the country, but here its an inferno. Even the air conditioner in the studio can't keep up, meaning I'll be working at night as much as possible. Luckily my bedroom AC is more than capable. in fact, I had to turn it down because it was a little too cold! I hope you're all staying comfortable in this heat.

I'd say 100 degrees is blazing hot for most of the country. Even here in Florida our AC was running overtime last week when it was 100+.

It is! But last summer it got up to 114 here! And by then 100 seemed like a cool distant memory!

100? It's only 86 here in Hawaii and it seems to hot to me.

Anything over about 80 seems hot to me. But in Portland is escalates as teh summer goes We have our first 80 day and we all act as if we're melting. Then its 90 or 100, and we're all in panic, staying home from work or laying in a cold bath all day. And we're always "It can't get worse then this!" Then we have a week where its 110 or 114, and no one knows what to do. Its too hot for rational thought.

....and the forest starts dying. I was just thinking about that last week. It was pretty apocalyptic when I visited last fall. Wildfires smoking everywhere, dead and damaged evergreens...

And I was thinking I wouldn't throw out a working sweatshirt, my sister is in her 30s and I still have one she got me from her elementary school ^-^

Yeah. Its a nightmare. Its bad enough in Portland proper, but a a few miles out in pretty much any direction its devastation. Enormous fires, people driven from their homes, entire towns gone.
