@jussipekonen You may be surprised. I think you'll use it more than you think you will. But then, I drive 35-40,000 km a year on average.
@gtwilson They're actually saying that today's high in Los Angeles could potentially be the highest summer temperature ever recorded there.
@matigo We're not quite that permissive. I'm 52 years old with the battle scars to show for it. That wouldn't be good for anybody.
@peemee The forecast high for my mother-in-law's funeral on Saturday is 39°C. I'm taking advantage of the fact that it's in what is now a predominantly Latino community to wear a traditional Mexican linen guayabera instead of a jacket and tie. Since she lived most of her life in that community and learned Spanish to communicate with the workers on the ranch where they lived, it seems appropriate.
The National Weather Service is predicting "dangerous, record-breaking triple digit heat" for Saturday. So if anyone wants to know why I'll be at my mother-in-law's funeral in a guayabera shirt instead of a suit, now you know why.
It's starting to sound like Damascus around here. 8 months after the biggest fire in California history burned through this area, people seem to have forgotten that fire danger is a Thing.
@matigo Not just the dogs. The scanner account I follow on Twitter is getting a workout tonight.
