We would love to be a fly on the wall in the White House right about now as shit is majorly hitting the fan, but we are convinced we may be suffering from genuine heatstroke after we possibly read something that stated the Pittsburgh Pirates are legitimate baseball play-off contenders after the All-Star break. That can't be any more real than the Smurf troupe who performed 'Copacabana' for us mid-afternoon yesterday when the heat index was a mere 121 degrees, can it?? Enjoy your day in one of the many cool, and some even legal, methods we have suggested, at least until our possible 72 hour hold and a 'cold' front provides comparative relief {temps merely in the MID TO LOWER-UPPER 90s} late during the weekend. No high temps are lower than 90, and there is some suggestion of 100ish temperatures moving back in late in the week.
