No kidding! It's beyond hot hot here (Central TX) -- it's progressed to crazy stupid hot hot. Each day bring record-breaking highs and lows.

(But I still drive with my top down -- I'm just sure to wear a hat!)

How much is it? 40C? 45C?

[Bear Bibeault]

Today my car measured 109ºF in the office parking lot. That's 42.8ºC.

Crazy stupid hot hot.

Oh wow!
I remember once, years back, I had left an audio casette on the dashboard. It was summer with 40ºC. By the time I came back, it was deformed out of shape.

It's an old New Orleans tradition. If it starts to shower, people fold them up and carry them.
