I came across this quotation by none other than Jane Austen re the ferocious heat:
"What dreadful hot weather we have! It keeps one in a continual state of inelegance.
--Jane Austen

(56 posts)Just learned the damn thing is a arson job by a nutcase. Now nearly 180,000 acres ablaze with zero containment. The plume of smoke is astonishing. Fire trucks still rolling in from everywhere.
The absolutely massive size of this fire is astounding.

Thank God we cool off tomorrow.

Well, listen everybody to what I'm goin' to say
I don't think that I can beat this heat another day
I went down to the river - about ninety-eight degrees
I spent all day and half the night in water to my knees
Oh those scorchin' days of summer are here
When sun shines more likely than not
Gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
Because ooh boys, it's hot
Oh, Jerry
Well I cut off all my Levis, I had to make some shorts
Left me with a bunch of legs of odd and varied sorts
I'm standin' by my garden I wish like hell it 'd rain
I know that all the seeds I planted gotta feel the same
Oh those scorchin' days of summer are here
When sun shines more likely than not
Gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
Because ooh boys, it's hot
Well, listen everybody to what I've gotta say
I don't think that I can beat this heat for another day
I've got dogs and cats and chickens all sleepin' in the shade
A dreamin' how those huskies in Alaska got it made
Oh those scorchin' days of summer are here
When sun shines more likely than not
Gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
Because ooh boys, it's hot
Ahhh, one more
Oh those scorchin' days of summer are here
When sun shines more likely than not
Gonna lay here in the shade, gonna drink me another ice-cold beer
Because ooh boys
I said ooh boys
I said ooh boys
It's hot!

(3,864 posts)My weather app (changes every time you look at it) says next several days we get down to the 50's at night, and 70-80's day. Sounds like a Dream after 90+ temps for last 2 weeks (it seems)
