I drove the convertible because the clutch in the Jeep is giving out and breakfasted on smoked oxygen. Fires still rage in the mountains all around and there is no wind to carry it away: A pinkish-gray pall has drifted on the high air and settled in the Valley. Sensitive types find their throat and eyes are always hurting. Cars are pulled over at odd angles, the occupants reduced to dried-out husks under their gas masks. Do you remember this show? I'll never forget it and it's coming true today.
But no worries! It's summertime!
For those of you who live in the 21st Century, 108°F is over 42°C

Convertible...???
oof, that is ugly. when it gets that hot here, and it rarely does i go lay on the concrete in the cool dark basement with all the pets.
these are days i am so thankful to be a coastal dweller. the smoke is evident here today, though. this due to the recent wind shift.
Yes, convertible, pic here.
It's really not that bad outside so long as you stay in the shade and neither move nor breathe.
It's not that crazy hot here, but something's going on because my eyes have been burning the last two days.
