Le Gasp, Le Pant, Le Heave!
The afternoon forecast for Dee Cee:
Hazy...hot and humid. A slight chance of a late day thunderstorm. Highs near 100. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 20 percent. Heat index values 105 to 110.
Goddammit, this is why I was so happy to leave San Antonio all those years ago!
The difference is that in San Antonio, one first sees this forecast in April and it's more or less constant through November. Here's Dee Cee's Thursday forecast:
Mostly cloudy and cooler with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the lower 80s. North winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30 percent.
Hmph. It better be. Or I'm getting my money back.
I was in SA last week. Low 90s with some humidity. Come back to Toledo and it's low 90s with lots of humidity.

I am ever so grateful for the parking garage that keeps my car out of the blistering hot sun while I'm in the nicely ACed office. Just the thought of trying to get into the oven that would have been my car is horrifying.
