Baby It's Hot Outside

Are you holding up in the heat okay? I sure hope so. Having the electricity back on again has been a godsend because it is getting hot in Saint Louis. At two this afternoon it was 98 degrees at Lambert Field, and 101 at Spirit Airport in West county. Lord don't let the power go out again and air conditioner don't fail me now!

This is how the heat wave of 1980 started. It gradually worked it's way through the mid to the upper 90's and then everyday was in the low, then the mid 100 degree range. It ended up lasting into mid September before things finally cooled off. I can remember a 111 degree day that summer. I sure hope we don't have to deal with that again this year.
