Where has summer gone?...........me...........V

[Ponce]

Here I am, sitting in my living room with the heather going of and off in the middle of summer and I am wearing my winter clothing.....summer should be summer and not a day to have a snow fight....tenperature is 48 degrees.....WHAT THE FVCK.....we are gong to have a very cold winter and I already ordered a big roll of bubble wrap to start covering my living room windos before winter. I am moving into my living room and keeping the rest of the house closed.....to go into the kitchen wont be to bad because I can alway turn on the heat on for a few minutes and the bathroom has an electric heather where I can do the same thing (never used it in 13 years)......my dog has his electric blanket in his dog place outside and the cat sleeps indoor.......all my containers are full and good to go for four years and three, or four, cords of wood also ready to go, beeing ready for 11 years ahahahahahahaa...................three of my 8 generators are ready to go and all my gas cans are full..................why am I talking about this?, simple, If something is going to happen it will be in winter because less people will be bound to do anything about it (like I said before) and I have a feeling that it will be this winter.........................by now the people knows what Obama is up to and he will have to do something before the people does something....................will have to finish the boobytraps inside of my inner fence, set up more flood lights (some of the connected to the generators) put up 4 more tv cameras, already have 8 up, set up my outside speaker and my siren (will wake up everyone withing a mile).........recheck my hide away suppy in the forest................ and a lot more................at 73 I havent the time to get old hahahahahahahahah.

You could always retire to Arizona, Ponce.

Ponce, the cold weather is a blessing with all the fires you've been having up there. Chilly and overcast here too, 56 degrees. Sure beats the hell hot weather we've had lately though!

[Ponce]

Smoke from the fire is about 8% and I should have taken a pair of gloves while walking my dog.....old steel? I was thinking more like Saudi Arabia and I could wear a flowing white robe.....just call me "Ponce of Arabia"

100 atm here, 104 predicted. Several weeks until we see lower 90s as the high. Dunno where you get this impression that summer is 'over'.

It’s hot enough in China to fry an egg on the street By Zachary M. Seward (http://qz.com/author/zachseward/) @zseward (http://twitter.com/zseward) 7 hours ago

http://qzprod.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/ap979964685404.jpg?w=2088Short-order cook: A child in Jinan, part of China's Shandong province, grills raw shrimp and an egg. Associated Press


“It’s hot enough to fry an egg” seems to be a universal expression of how damn hot it is. Most of the time, though, it’s not really that hot. An egg must be heated to 158 °F (http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/friedegg.html) (70 °C) before it properly fries. But the Associated Press reports that this child in China’s Shandong province was able to cook the egg, at least to his own satisfaction, along with a few raw shrimp.
During sustained heat waves, the temperature can get much higher near the ground. And the kid (first spotted by China Real Time (https://twitter.com/ChinaRealTime/status/363271956881080321)) was smart to cook over a metal manhole cover, which conducts heat much more effectively than pavement.
China’s worst heat wave on record (http://www.weather.com/news/historic-heat-wave-china-july-20130731)—temperatures in Shanghai topped 100 °F (38 °C) on 14 days in July—continues to plague the eastern half (http://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/1290704/east-and-parts-central-china-scorched-record-heatwave) of the country. We wrote previously about the creative ways that Chinese are keeping cool (http://qz.com/109678/as-chinas-heatwave-hits-104-f-in-a-slew-of-cities-people-get-creative-about-cooling-off/), and also using the heat: TV reporters showed pictures of pork cooking on a sidewalk.
If word catches on about this road roasting, Chinese officials could face the same problem as authorities in Death Valley, California, where so many people tried to fry eggs during a recent heat wave that a warning had to be issued (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=626510664039886&set=a.427505487273739.100541.146565715367719&type=1): “The Death Valley [National Park] maintenance crew has been busy cleaning up eggs cracked directly on the sidewalk, including egg cartons and shells strewn across the parking lot… Don’t crack eggs on the sidewalks.”

I drove up to the high rockies today, it was right at 70 degrees, clear skies, with a cool breeze. I wish everyday was like this.

I miss the rockies. I was in the high sierras last days off, but something about the rockies....aspen groves, when you first hike up past tree line....beautiful there.
