Just like Arizona....... The surface of the sun....

I had the best intentions to do wonderful things this afternoon once returning from the morning visit to the Doctor's offices.....  Another diabetes visit this morning with no breakfast....  Some of you know the drill......

But as the day progressed we ran into a little problem with outside activities....

At almost 3 PM I thought we had reached the hot part of the afternoon, so I snapped the picture from the car dash....  Well, not exactly as when I went back outside at about 5 PM it said 102....  That would be 39 C for my Northerly friends...

I came inside and looked at the temperature in Mesa, Az just for fun and it was registering 102 as well...  only they had 8 % humidity and we were somewhere around 40%...  I didn't even bother to find out what that made the heat index...

So since we were now sitting on a block of ice for the rest of the afternoon that slowed down our fun...

Loyce had taken the grand kids to the swimming pool about noon, but I went after her to make sure she knew how hot it really was...  The water in the pool is much cooler than the air temp, but a few more days like today and it will be almost boiling......!

Officially we had 98 today as a high, at the airport where the National Weather Service office is located...  It's out of town in the country a couple of miles so it is generally cooler out there....

They forecast tomorrow as 95...  That sounds like much the same to me...  Anyway we aren't doing too much but staying inside, other than trips to the pharmacy, given the doctor can't leave any prescription alone when ever you go for a friendly visit.....  (It's expensive to toss out  Rx s)
