Sweet summer night and I'm stripped to my sheets
Forehead is leaking, my AC squeaks
And a voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire
Soak my head in the sink for a while
Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but
My bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved

Drowning here in Summer's Cauldron
Under mats of flower lava
Please don't pull me out
This is how I would want to go
Breathing in the boiling butter
Fruit of sweating golden inca
Please don't heed my shout
I'm relax in the undertow

The contiguous USA just had the hottest May on record. Edmonton too.
Anyone thinking temperatures in the 20's is too hot is so Canadian it hurts. I miss the 25-35 degree zone of SE Asia, and never having to worry about pants, shoes, or a jacket

Not being cold all the time is so much better. Shorts and a t-shirt with sandals plz thnx. Green leaves and grass, water in it's liquid form, chirping birds. This is life IMO......
One of my happiest recent memories was last time in Mexico. Coming back on a boat from some silly excursion "we had to go on". Boat clipping along in calm waters, warm humid breeze, some Bob Marley in the background and drink in hand. Just chillin in the back enjoying the whole thing. That's the closest I've come to seriously considering being a full time beach bum.

I think we acclimatize to our local conditions.
My son was just in Dallas, and thought it was very hot. Locals were wearing hoodies and toques.
30 C is hot to a Calgarian accustomed to an average high of 21 C in June.
It was 107 in West Texas yesterday and will likely hit 106 today. We've been under a heat advisory for several days straight.
Anyone who wants to live here and "enjoy" the heat can take over my apartment...just let me know when you will be arriving so I can move my stuff out.
Quite frankly, it is too damn hot to do anything and the heat and the constant south wind blowing gives me a headache and makes me lethargic. It makes you unable to use the oven to cook anything, because once your oven is on, your air conditioner is unable to keep up and keep your residence cool. And when you are outside for even just a few minutes, you are sweating miserably as the sun beats down and wears you out.
People who say that they like the heat have never truly experienced real heat for days and days on end. Because once they have, they don't like the heat anymore.
