How are you guys handling the heatwave?

I've self-medicated with frequent and judicious applications of salt, lime and Patron, lol! :banana: I'm a little peeved since I have three snakes I'm waiting to receive but all things considered, I'm doing fine. We replaced our air conditioner/heater earlier this year and while that really sucked as far as the initial price tag, it's helped with our electric bill and has certainly come in handy with the recent temps in the Midwest where I live.

The heat in arkansas reached about 105 the other day in conway. Its terrible.. this week is sort of cooler, the highs are around 100 all week. And of course we have had no rain in months, we cant even light fireworks for the 4th of july do to the risk of fire. If you are caught burning anything its a 500-1000 dollar fine.

That sucks. They cancelled all the fireworks shows around here due to an emergency burn ban in place...and yet the idiots KEEP! watering their yards in spite of the drought conditions and there being water usage restrictions in place! Makes perfect sense to me: green grass while the neighbors house burns down due to low water pressure when the fire trucks come! Ridiculous. Where I live, it's a criminal offense resulting in jail time if they set off fireworks with the burn ban in place.

I love warmer weather so im handling it just fine! I still have an AC in my room so i can sleep at nite but i like to work outside in the nice weather.
It beats the hell outta freezing my ass off shoveling 2feet of snow
