Now THAT'S Some Kind of Hot

Another 97° day (I'm pretty sure with the humidity the heat index is like 181° or 182°) here in the Mid-South.

It's so hot ...

• The farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying hard-boiled eggs

• The cows are only producing evaporated milk

• The potatoes are already cooked .. underground

• The trees are whistling for the dogs

• The birds are using pot-holders to pull worms out of the ground

• You have to eat jalapeño peppers just to cool off

• You can poach an egg in the birdbath

• You can fry an egg on the hood of your car

• Ice melts in the freezer

• Your seat belt doubles as a branding iron

• The milk you bought at the store turns to cottage cheese before you can get home

• When the temperature drops below 95° you start to feel a little "chilled"

"... and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." - II Peter 3:10b
