Is it really going to be 98 tomorrow?

All of a sudden? It’s been pretty mild. Then weather.com predicts 101 for June 20th.

1. right now that would be a break in the heat here

[iemanja]

2. Where are you?

[Skittles]

3. Texas

but I have lived in Minnesota (Houston County) and know what 98 degrees would mean there

6. Had to look up Houston County

I don't think I've ever been there. I did live in Austin, TX though when I went to grad school. I know 98 is standard there. It's probably gotten hotter in the 24 yrs since I left.

8. I lived in Austin 17 years

are you a native Minnesotan? My grandparents lived there and I was always amazed that I would be served a huge meal, then for seconds it was, well, another huge meal

9. Raised in Minnesota

born in Illinois. Though I have no memory of living in Illinois. We moved away when I was a baby. All my family is in Minnesota.

I have to say that I loved living in Austin.

10. Austin was great back then

I was stationed at Bergstrom Air Force Base and then stayed on; alas, last time I was there it felt like a mini-Dallas

4. Next week looks brutal.

Guess I'd better drag that window air conditioner out of the closet...

[iemanja]

5. I put mine on this morning

before it gets too hot. I don't like it.

7. I hate air conditioning because it makes me feel all clammy, but

I might have to break down and deal with it. It's already 90 out, somewhat better than it could be because it's breezy, but the downstairs of my house is still livable; I just sit in front of a fan. Upstairs gets too warm during the day. Might get out that a/c later.
