Hot stuff

So, OK, it was a little hot yesterday. Quit yer whinin':

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Thursday will go down as the hottest day ever for many Indiana locales, and the steamy temperatures will stick around for at least another day.

The National Weather Service said a large ridge of high pressure brought in the hottest temperatures in nearly 80 years. The temperature soared to a record 106 degrees in Fort Wayne and Evansville and 104 degrees in Indianapolis. For other cities, it was the hottest it's been in Indiana since 1988.

Vietnam, hotter. Texas in August, hotter. Halle Berry, hotter. Oh, wait; different list.

The surprising thing was that we beat out Indianapolis for the state's hottest spot. I know from talks with my sister that on most days it runs a few degrees hotter there.
