California heat!!!

My car was parked in the shade yesterday and I decided to take a pic. Mind you, I didn't get my camera out until I started driving and the temp dropped a few degrees before I snapped this shot.

Ya dude, but the heat here is NOTHING compared to back in Virginia where I grew up. Over there it's 90-100 degrees but with 100% humidity!!! It totally sucks ass. You are always sweaty. The heat here is awesome. Hot enough to make all the girls wear tank tops and short skirts.

I wish you could send some of that heat to CT! I still have the heat on! MORE rain expected this weekend!

BTW- still couldn't see the pics! That's ONE reason I decided to stay with photopoint.com and pay the price. One minute you can get into Yahoo pics and the next minute you can't even using the URL they TELL you to use!

Yeah, I can't wait. I'm moving from New York To Tempe on July 2nd. 2 months straight of 110-120 temps. I was just out there last weekend got my Acura from Acura of Scottsdale. it was in the 105-110 range, fuck people who say dry heat that sun is damn strong. You can feel it on you. I still think hottest place ever is Houston, TX in August. Temp is 100 and man is it sticky. Feels 115 and like your swimming in your own sweat.

LOL!! Hey Gold, looks like it's going to be cooling down to 100 on Sunday. We better get the jackets out!! http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/Phoenix_AZ_US_f.html

No, that is some serious heat going on over in the Bay Area. My old condo over there didn't have A/C and it was on the top floor. I'd be hating life over there right now... Looks like you guys are getting a big break on Saturday though. Hang in there!!

Great timing (July 2). Things can only get better from there, temperature-wise. (Well, you might have to wait til Sept. to see the improvement though) Scottsdale Acura was where I got my car also. Your salesperson wasn't Dave Noble, was it? He was great when I got mine. I always laugh when I hear "yeah, but it's dry heat" as well. Doesn't matter if you've got 2% humidity- you just roast instead of boil!

Stop the whining. I will invite you to come to LAREDO, TX. Last year we had over 92 days with temps above 101 degrees and lots of tumbleweed and dust. Come and enjoy the beautiful State of Texas.

I saw your DVD list, make sure you get Predator in DTS format if you have a DTS receiver. I have the original Predator DVD in Dolby Surround and it sounded good but I know that it will kick ass in DTS or AC-3(Dolby Digital). Just FYI!
