It's so hot the solar eclipse the other day really happened only a mile
off the streets of Portland.

It's so hot that the air coming out of Lars Larsen's mouth didn't even
raise the temperature.

It was so hot I had to roll the windows down in my car.

It was so hot I looked for shade.

It was so hot I took a warm shower.

It was so hot I wore sandals without socks.

It was so hot I complained it wasn't cloudy.

Sheeeeesh. Portlanders.

More like thank God the windows are bolted shut on the trains so some
nitwit can't open them and let all the A/C out.

Shade wasn't quite cutting it today.

Your cold water's broken today, too, eh?

There might have been shade 'round Portland if all the trees hadn't
flashburned to nothing. 8:o)

Cold water isn't working at your place today, either, eh?

I'm that way whenever it's sunny. Someone should go extinguish that
thing already. It's a driving hazard (looking straight into it in the
afternoon on the Sunset Expressway), a fire hazard (not too many forest
fires break out when it's raining or overcast), and a nuisance (Sunburn,
103 in Hillsboro in June).

To some extent I left AZ to get out of the heat, but not to get away from
the sun. When I walked outside yesterday all I could say was "aaaaaaah" She
must not have been much of a Zonie - we usually never complained until it
got over 110. 92 degrees is what we used to call "naked weather".

My problem right now is allergies. Don't know exactly what it is that blooms
during this time of year but whatever it might be is taking the enjoyment
out of the heat. I've had itchy eyes, runny nose, and a low grade constant
headache for almost a week.

I forgot one. It was so hot the moss on my back dried up.

I was thinking it was going to be a mild season, but now I think it's simply
a delayed one. Either that or playing gigs in smokey bars for the last four
years has desensitized me to pollen. Might be a fair trade.

As for the sun, it was so hot that I went down to the river to hang out on
my boat and I realized I'd left the f$%king bilge pump on and drained the
battery. :/

My problem is that it's something I've never come in contact with until I
moved here. I was the same way in Texas with Cedar. Never had allergies in
AZ.

And then he was so hot that he fried an egg on his head.

I suspect that for me it might be blackberry pollen - since that's what's
blooming right now. Don't have any way of proving it except when they
started blooming in my yard that's when I started feeling the effects. Good
as guess as any I suspect.

>Then again, I could always bogart some of my GF's Claritin ;-)

I could do the same - but I don't like the side effects of allergy medicine
either. I'll stick with Visine A and hot green tea.

And lots of Kleenex.

Dave, a couple tips from a fellow sufferer..

Nasalcrom and eye drops.. OTC, and it works pretty well..

Zyrtec and/or Flonase.. Prescription. If you can get them they work great!

Good luck, I know from experience how bad it can suck... Wake up, and sneeze
90 times before you make it to the shower....

A friend of mine commutes from Oregon City (ugh) to Corvallis and said the
pollen is so thick down there this week that it hangs like a haze in the
air. I remember those days. *sniff*

The nicest thing about east Multnomah County is the wind, which tends to
scrub the air. I wasn't having problems at all until yesterday when I took
the top and doors off my jeep and then went for a drive to down I-205 which
was like getting a high-speed nasal pollen enema. By the time I got there
I was hating life.

Ok, I know a couple of Texans. They tell me it is so hot the
asphalt is melting and the dust is sunburnt....Tell me a good Texas
joke, I'll pass it on to people who could use a smile.

What gets me (and for that matter, the maintainer of wonko.com, a native
Texan) is how Texans are complete heat pussies. Air-conditioned cars,
offices and homes are ubiquitous, and people start complaining how their
chosen home is inhospitably hot...
