Warming Trend

It is getting to be pretty warm here.  I think it is hot, but I have been assured by MANY people that this is nothing.  I don't doubt them for a minute, I just prefer not to think about August.  Just now, as I was leaving the D-Fac, I ran into a man whom I met on the way to Kuwait. We recognized each other from around the neighborhood.  We also arrived back around the same time and exchanged stories of great vacations.  So, I ran into him on my way out of dinner tonight.  We talked about the weather and he mentioned that he has a thermometer on the outside of his CHU.  He said that today it was 114F but I should wait until August.  Apparently, once last year, he read 144F.  I think he must have had sweat in his eyes-the lines were blurred.  144?  I am pretty sure I would melt...or at least my shoes will.
