TumbleweedIt's not even summer yet and we have a triple digit heat index! It's like breathing steam when you go outside. Blowup I think I will become a vampire and only go out at night! Bigeye

I get the impression the forecasters for Austin just write in 99 and sunny for July and August and adjust only within a week if something might happen besides (colder if rain, sometimes hotter).

haven't had any 100 degree days yet in Austin, somehow, but possibly up to 104 on Saturday Whee

It's not the heat, it's the stupidity.

I went for a run this afternoon and about died. It was brutal out there. I forgot how much water you lose and how much more effort it takes to run in extreme heat. Over 100 heat index while I was out there. 2.5 miles in and I was light headed and sick to my stomach. Way not normal. I think I need to run indoors til winter..

What if it isn't?

Besides, it's the humidity.

That's the nice thing about Seattle, it only gets uncomfortably hot if we have several clear/dry days. So the heat doesn't come with humidity, it's almost always a dry heat.

I turned on my oven to bake some fish this evening, and reminded myself to not do that again until October laugh out loud if I can't grill it outside or microwave it or cook it stovetop, it's not being served in my condo until it cools down again nod

I've been pretty wimpy about the heat so far, coming up with excuses to drive to work. Thursday I need to get back at it, take the bus to work and walk home like normal

Factoring in the 30 knot continuous gusts, it is 25 degrees F here and yes, that is hot enough for me.
I got pretty used to the negative temperatures from October to March or so and can't say I like these 30, 35, and 40 degree days we are having. I am definitely not looking forward to the weather in SC and MO when I go back to the states for a month in August; my vacation in February saw me go from -20 degrees to 50 degree weather and I was dying for the whole three weeks.

For salmon, it's actually better on the stovetop, I used to bake it until I caught a local chef on TV showing people how to pan grill it.

Heat up a non-stick pan really hot then toss some olive oil in to heat up. Salt the salmon lightly on the skin side and toss it in the pan. Let it cook until it's about half way cooked (check the thick end cut to see if it's cooked half way up) which is about four minutes, then lightly salt the flesh side and flip it over in the pan. Let it cook for about the same amount of time on that side then put it on a plate to rest a minute or two and serve. It keeps cooking a bit after it's out of the pan so don't overcook it in the pan. Very tasty.

Note: It doesn't take much oil in the pan, maybe 1 or 2 tablespoons.

I went out to check my garden at 5:30 this evening and had to change my clothes when I came back inside. I was only out there for 10 minutes or so and I was soaking wet. I'm going to just put my bathing suit on in the morning and cut back on the piles of laundry. Annoyed
