Heat week

I turned on the Weather Channel this morning to check out how hot it was going to be today.  It's something I do nowadays.  Probably because I'm getting old.  There was a weather bulletin that came up that stated the following.
Excessive Heat Warning in effect from 1 PM this afternoon to 7 PM CDT Wednesday.
That covers four days!  FOUR DAYS!  The projected temperatures for this week are the following (this is Sunday through Saturday):  105, 107, 109, 101, 100, 99, 96.  Yeah, finally, on Friday the heat starts to break. 

When we first started thinking about moving, it was because Andrea needed to find a job.  No big deal, people do it all the time.  People that I work with ask me why we want to move and that is always the first reason I give them.  We would like to have two incomes.  It helps keep our heads afloat.  The second reason I tell people is because we will end up being close to our families.  Instead of being a twenty hour car ride, it's only nine and a half hours.  And in the past month or so, I have been telling people that another reason is because it is way too hot here.  There have been over thirty days of one hundred degrees or more temperatures. 





And people ask me why I hate Kansas.  It's too damn hot.
