Mad Max: Beyond Heatdome




TWO MEN ENTER, both leave because it was so hot and they forgot to hydrate before
their fight to the death so that they both started getting heat stroke symptoms and
Auntie called off the fight because her liability insurance had lapsed.

End of movie.

That story's gold, I tell ya!

Hmmm, silver? Okay, brass with some nickel thrown in.

Our foray into early fall is about to end in typical Oklahoma July fashion. This
is just about the last day of our summer hiatus, so buckle in and prepare to
sweat. The heat dome, after flirting about the area along the fringes of the state
(you know who you are), is finally going to move directly over us early next
week. And it ain't kidding around.





As you know by now, the actual air temperatures above don't tell the whole
story. Throw in the humidity and it's gonna be a hot, sticky mess. Take next
Wednesday's forecast heat index values, for instance. Please.



Rain? LOL! Ain't no rain under the heat dome...you have to be along the edges
of it.



TWO MEN ENTER, another comes in with water and sunscreen to help the participants
hydrate and protect their skin from the sun.

Hollywood is going to be calling any minute...
