106° in Deer Park yesterday. Folks commenting about end times while this SoCal transplant be like, “This is nothing”. As long as the air was dry, it’s always bearable.
I once trained in New Jersey prior to the Olympics and there was a heat wave. 110° PLUS humidity! Slept in dorms with NO AC! If we managed to sleep at all, we’d wake up with the bed sheets soaking wet from sweat! Now THAT blows!
Some years ago, I traveled home from a Baker to Vegas relay race (a law enforcement friendly competition) when we stopped in Baker (home of the world tallest thermometer) in the dead of the summer & blazing hot afternoon for a drink when a tour bus pulled up and all the folks spilled out as if this place was THE destination, not a stop. Driver finally steps off and looked our way & noticed our dumbfounded “What gives?” look. He shrugs and says “German tourists.” Apparently, they have a fascination for HOT places but unfortunately for them, they came when the temp was 23° shy of the 134° record. [emoji41]
Just be on the lookout for Germans & charge them a buck or two for standing in your yards.
