Ah, heat waves.  The summer equivalent of the snowstorm.  The news
people get so very excited, at least around here, since it doesn't
happen all that often.  

The Philadelphia news programs were all gearing up to cover our heat
wave (it's in the 90s here, for the third day in a row) yesterday -- the
reporters were out there 'braving the heat', the weatherpeople got to
lead off.  One station (NBC, maybe?) even had the current temperature
and heat index for a bunch of area towns at the bottom of the screen
through the broadcast, just like they do with snowfall totals during
winter storms.  And I swear, the anchor on one of the stations was
disappointed that the heat hasn't caused any fatalities.  ("No deaths
are reported... yet.")  But hey, they're promising to get through it
with me.  *grins*

I am glad I have air conditioning, though.  It *is* hot, rather.
