The East Coast is roasting under what's known as a "heat dome" - a combination of weather factors involving high pressure and hot air that sits on top of a region and bakes it mercilessly.
Of course, the combination of high pressure and hot air is much worse here in Disneyland-on-the-Potomac as Republicans and Democrats face off to try and decide who is the most pigheadedly irresponsible, but it's hot just about everywhere. Our heat index yesterday afternoon was 110. Today, it's going to be 115, and the "excessive heat warning" has already been announced ... it goes from 10 AM to 10 PM.
Yes, it's hot.
How hot is it?
Hot enough to melt a wicked witch.
Hotter than a two-dollar pistol.
Hotter than Mila Kunis, with or without derriere double ...
It's ... well ... hot, hot, hot ...
It's almost enough to make you nostalgic for last year's snowmaggedon...
Almost. The heat is awful, but at least we don't have to shovel it.
Have a good day. Stay cool, and come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday. More thoughts then.
