Last year, our trip through the Southwest peaked at 122 (50°C)  in Arizona, but by the time we got to Santa Rosa it was positively chilly. The warm welcome at the Mothership kept us sane.  ;D

Thanks for the offer Bill... our house is heated with a gravity furnace, no fan or pump and despite the "cool" setting on the thermostat it won't cool the house. We get little breeze through the house either, not that there has been much breeze anyway.

Harry, I thought it was bad that our house hit 90 degrees inside last night, 105 sounds truly awful. If we weren't about to drop big bucks on our Alaska trip we would have considered getting an air conditioned hotel room, it is something we have discussed during prior heat waves. House interior had gone down to 82 by morning but still uncomfortable, been hard to get a decent night's sleep. At least we aren't dealing with smoke from fires, too.

It was like this in Colorado in 2012 when Xander was born. 100 degree days without end and massive fires everywhere (Year of the Dragon!). We even had to evacuate our house after we got back from the NICU because of our neighborhood being inundated with smoke from a fire right up the road in the foothills and Xander was still on 02.

I feel for you guys. I hate hot.
