Default Dang it is HOT, all be careful...

It is in the upper 90s with the dew point and humidity so high that the heat index is well over 110!!!! I mowed part of the yard and put the riding mower back up. Joey cut some 2"x2"s to length for one of our wall tents and he was wringing wet with sweat. We are putting chunks of ice in the outside dogs water. They say this summer is the hottest in 60 years. Could be all that BS and hot air coming from WASHINGTON D.C., what do yall think. Anyways yall be careful out there in this; there are heat warnings in a HUGE chunk of the country, from the Rockies all the way to the Atlantic Ocean!!! We have high school football teams all over the state cancealing practice in this heat. One had 6 players go to the hospital for heat exhaustion. One football field with a artifical turf on the field checked the heat index on it and it was over 126 degrees, that was as high as the meter went!!!

So if in this heat, slow down, drink LOTS of fluids, and check on others (your out doors pets as well) to make sure this heat claims NO lives.
