OT: Heat wave
Who else out there is soaking up as much MGoBlog as they can before the power lines inevitably start being fried by the air conditioners tonight? Before the little bit of rain we just had here in AA swept through, the heat index was 106 degrees. Now it's at 99. I can't wait until Thursday when the straight up temperature is predicted to be 99. If it's as humid as today, the heat index will be 115.
haha, I'm from Dallas (Mesquite actually). Although everyone up here is whining their ass off, it's nothing compared to back home. Today actually felt rather nice! Have fun in Dallas, I'm happy to be here for now.
I'm a MI native currently living in Norman, OK and the OKC area has had 50-some days of above-normal temperatures, and three to more weeks of straight 100+ degree days (some have been 110+). If you want to know what that feels like, it's like putting your face in front of an open oven. My AC is set to 80 and that seems like a relief when compared to what's outside. When we came back to visit relatives in the Detroit area last week, it was breathtakingly fresh feeling. I can handle the heat, but the humidity here is killer.
The heat wave of '80 was the worst I remember. All over the eastern U.S. and south, people were dying from heat-related causes. I was working in Houston during a summer internship and it never got below 98 for the high the entire 3 months I was there. But my advice this week is either or all of these:
1) Avoid the Art Fair in AA.
2) Find a cool basement/lower level (like where I am now)
3) Drink lots of cold beer
4) Head up to Mackinaw - it's always 10 - 12 degree cooler up there than down state
5) Keep reading more about how f-ed up TSIO is and thinking about what the NCAA is going to do to them to take your mind off the heat.
I work outside at a golf course and it was just about unbearable today on the course.
Today they had a tournament 46 people but tomorrow they have the tournament and 90 rounds going
Heat index of 115 right now in the twin cities.
There's a pretty good storm on track for Dexter and Chelsea, so it seems.....
Check out this madness going on in Ohio.

Coaches are being encouraged to wear a white shirt and tie during their season openers next month to honor Tressel.
The idea was proposed by Solon coach Jim McQuaide last week when Tressel was inducted into the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association's Hall of Fame. The OHSFCA quickly advanced the recommendation to its more than 750 head coaches.
Tressel was forced to resign last month in the wake of an NCAA investigation, and Ohio State has since vacated all its 2010 victories. The controversy apparently has done little to lessen a strong bond Tressel built with high school coaches during his 26 years at Ohio State and Youngstown State.
Whats your opinion? And what can you do to stop it?
Excuse me my friend ...Heat Wave?
Where I'm at..... our Heat Wave starts with a 1,followed proudly by another 1 and normally ending with a 5..if your lucky. This season we have seen a 1 followed by a 2, ending with a lonely 0. I'll sum it up for you...Heat Wave in Phx 115* 2 weeks ago we enjoyed 120! That my Fellow Wolverines is the type of Heat Wave the "Desert Wolverine" endures. If I may, it's not a good environment for a chocolate buckeye...they simply melt!
Go Blue!!
Where I'm at, our Heat Wave starts with a phone call, and ends in a delicious Domino's pizza, if you're lucky.
Clearly an OSU grad if that's where your at.
Man who mock poster with improper use of "your" and "you're" is bound to get posterized...
That was humorous.

Haha what a looser
...it's a dry heat.

Imagine, you could just point at the thermometer and will it down.
I had football in this shit today. Not fun.
It's been very cold this summer in the Northwest. We've had maybe one day over 75.
I am volunteering at a summer camp right now and only the conference center and dining hall have air conditioning. this is brutal
I'm Finnish. Gimme 10 degrees and snowy over this bullshit any day. Did I mention that I don't have A/C?
