Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

108 here and some recycling lot caught on fire, which is now a 6+ alarm fire.  

Minnesota is supposed to be a frozen hellhole, yet 97 yesterday, 99 and counting today, and 90s through the rest of the week.

There is a strong correlation between those who like blast-furnace heat and those who have never had to do anything outside in it.

This is why the Midwest sucks. Winter is hell. Summer is a hot humid mosquito-dominated hell. Especially in the land of 10,000 lakes and 10,000,000,000,000 mosquitos. Spring is storms. Basically in the Midwest you get about 8 weeks of acceptable weather per year.

Never. Again.

I don't know - Cali weather is nice but boring. I do like the rainy temperate climates like Seattle and Ireland, if I was moving those would probably be the best climates for me. But otherwise, weather that doesn't give you a good storm or snow or heat is like a wife who schedules sex after an episode of Frazier. Predictable, nice, not that fun.

I spent a week in a small town in CA on the slopes of the Sierra.  It felt like Texas, it was nice, and housing prices were reasonable.

They had frogs that jumped, and a town named something that had 22 wine tasting rooms, Bishop?

Man, I'm not sure we've broken 92 yet this year.  I'm jealous!

my brother suggested I visit him this weekend/week to avoid the heat here in Iowa
lucky for me, I know where the shady spots are on the golf course and the beer is cold
when the heat index hits triple digits I'll drink a bud light to stay hydrated 

good for you

I have pain in both shoulders, but I keep swinging.  Yesterday was my 40th round this season.

the alcohol helps with the pain, maybe not so much with the score card

Big trouble here.

And then there's this...

For the first time ever, the federal government is expected to declare a water shortage on the lower Colorado River later this summer. That will force automatic cuts to the water supply for Nevada and Arizona starting in 2022. Homeowners have higher priority and, at first, won't feel the pain as badly as farmers.

Dan Thelander is a second-generation family farmer in Arizona's Pinal County. The water to grow his corn and alfalfa fields comes from Lake Mead. "If we don't have irrigation water, we can't farm," he said. "So, next year we are going to get about 25% less water, means we're going to have to fallow or not plant 25% of our land."

In 2023 Thelander and other farmers in this part of Arizona are expected to lose nearly all of their water from Lake Mead, so they are rushing to dig wells to pump groundwater to try to save their farms.

Who the $#^& farms corn in freaking Arizona? It's a desert, fer chrissakes!
