To hell with the summer
-
Is it KU sports time yet or what?
-
Oh. I thought this was a weather related post. Which, by the way - the weather sucks balls. My son said the “real feel” temperature in KC was 116⁰ today. It was a crisp 108⁰ here.
-
8pm and the heat index is still over 100° here in Houston.
-
Just got back from a walk. It’s 88 at 10:30 in LFK. Feels like 97
-
KU sports can’t come fast enough so sick of this crap. -------TWENTY FIVE DYS TILL kickoff
-
Sunday was 97 for a high with heat index 114-- ----Monday was 98 degrees and heat index 116 - -& today was 98 with a heat index at 111 screw that here in Topeka
-
Out of curiosity how many of ya work outside in the heat? It’s not that bad if you spend the entire day outside. AC has ruined perceptions.
-
My wife was just saying how it wasn’t that bad of a summer heat-wise. And then I had to remind her August is usually hotter than July…
I still prefer the heat to the cold
-
@Kcmatt7 look up the average monthly temperatures in Vancouver,BC, Canada and see what you think.
-
My wife has been talking about moving to the Phoenix area from here near Hilton Head. Me: “So, go from almost Hell with water saturating the air to actual Hell with no water at all. Try again!”
-
I am of the opinion that summer is a great time. There are lots of good novels, short stories, series, music, and movies to be watched without being distracted by sports or the feeling of obligation to prove to people online that your takes on sports are more correct than theirs. Then there is always that “spending time with your loved ones” thing.

The older I get the less I enjoy the summer.
-
@mayjay Oh, but Phoenix is a DRY heat.
Like my oven.
-
@dylans grew up farming, which made me realize working from my home office is much more pleasant. I remember my dad and grandpa saying go to college so you don’t have to do this.
-
@nuleafjhawk My dad was in Az in WW2. He said the humidity was so low that you never felt sweat even in the 90’s playing tennis. But you would end up with a white crust on your skin. Now, I’ve heard people say irrigation has more than doubled the humidity levels.
Again, I pass. Like, I will pass through to see the Grand Canyon.
-
The nice thing about Kansas is not only do the summers suck, the winters also suck.
-
@mayjay I agree with you that I am fine to visit Phoenix, but would not want to live there. Why would you want to move to a place where they are already fighting over water, the one thing necessary to sustain life?
