Good morning all, yet another day in Heatsville, although we might not make it up to 115 today. I can't be sure, I don't remember what the TV people said, and I still haven't found a suitable replacement for my Weather Channel desktop app. The one I just looked at tells me the temp from around 40 or 50 places in and around Surprise. All of these from people with their own weather stations. All well and good, but nowhere does it show the forecast for today. I clicked on "more details" and got a complete report on that particular station, but no forecast for today. 
Oh well, it'll be hot regardless of who says what. 
Yup, it does. How can someone in their right mind take a hike in 115 degree heat without having enough, or even any water? That would be insane at 60 degrees, but people do it and they pay the price. Some do bring a cell phone and can call for help, but they're saying that each rescue runs around $7,000, unless they have to bring in a helicopter, then the costs skyrocket (pun intended)... and guess who pays for this????
Still fighting fires here and in a few other SW states, all this and the folks back east are suffering from storms and flooding. Kind of ironic, but that's why we have these fires, not enough rain or snow in these parts leaves everything tinder dry and then lightning hits or some jerk leaves a fire burning and walks away, or worse yet, intentionally sets a fire to get some sort of sick thrill.
We get it all.
