World Registers Hottest Day Ever-July 3rd

On one of my visits to Las Vegas, I remember the reading on an outdoor hotel thermometer showing us that the temp that day reached 114, just shy of the record. But as they say, "It's a dry heat." I don't care what kind of heat it was, on that day it was hot. We walked the streets just to pass the time and see the sights. We carried bottles of water and went from casino to casino to cool off. No matter what I did, my feet were burning, so I took off my shoes and socks and put them in a fountain in front of one of the hotels. As people passed by, they gave me a strange look. When my feet had cooled, I put my shoes and socks back on and started to walk away when I saw the sign, "Do not put your feet in the water. You will be fined $500 by the Las Vegas PD."

My defense would have been that the sign was on the opposite side of where I was and I didn't see any sign.
 

Soon signs like this one will be everywhere, not just Death Valley.

Death Valley was always the hot spot in the past ... not anymore. They only reached 104 on July 3rd.
 
Google says "This July 4 was hot. Earth's hottest day on record, in fact. Tuesday was the hottest day on Earth since at least 1979, with the global average temperature reaching 62.92 degrees Fahrenheit (17.18 degrees Celsius), according to data from the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Prediction."

You know it's HOT when the roads start to buckle and crack ... something that is happening around here lately.

The U.S. National Centers for Environmental Prediction?

Pardon my cynicism, but I'll bet they're salivating over the possibility of increased funding.
