Breaking records out here in North Carolina. It hit 102 up by Raleigh and with the humidity, it’s become almost unbearable. The only reason I’m not absolutely despondent, is that I can remember temperatures in Baghdad hitting 130 degrees. I don’t believe I’m exaggerating when I say that I think it even hit 140 at one point.
Thank God we have air conditioners. My translator in Iraq told me how when was young, they used palm fronds and water in a make-shift evaporative cooler. I’m sure that only made minimal difference.
