the (hot) dog days of August

Is it hot where you live? If you live in the Northern Hemisphere of the Americas, chances are good that it is.

Here in Indianapolis, it's 83F at 12:30 am but the heat index (Canadians call it the humidex) makes it feel like 91F. The sun has been down for a few hours now, and it's still in the 80's. Granted, we're not as far north as Wisconsin and North Dakota here so this isn't terribly shocking temperatures, but we certainly ain't in the Deep South, are we ya'll?

Currently in Panama City, where one of my sisters lives, it's 81F. Call me crazy, but I think it's a bit unusual for it to be hotter in Indiana than it is in Florida. Panama City will climb to 91F later today, but Indianapolis will reach 94F. Bizarre, no? But, that's August in the Midwest for you.

Maybe we should listen to Al Gore talk about global warming....
