It's 91 here in San Antonio but the inside of my car feels like 125 degrees. However, now that I have read Louise's post, I think I'll just count my blessings.

I'm not sure just how hot it is in RI.. But being near Narragansett Bay and the ocean it has been extemely humid also. And the a/c in my (old) car died. An anecdote -if you don't mind- July 31,1969 my son was born in Calif. We lived in Santee. It waa 110* for 3 weeks before, and 3 weeks after, he was born. We had no a/c then. But at least it cooled down nicely at night. I have no hints for cooling off except crank up the a/c and worry about electric bill later.

I'd rather live out West where it's dry so you don't feel the heat so much. It's cheaper to live out there, too. I love the Western states.

Where I live in BC we have been the hot spot in Canada two days in a row. It's been 41.8 Celsius or 107 fahrenheit; I love it.
I can remember when we were kids and A/C wasn't heard of back then; me, my brother and sister would soak our sheets in the bathtub or hose them down on the lawn and then between the three of us we would wring them out tight so we could sleep under them all night long.
