This is what Hell feels like

THIS is what hell must feel like. I hate going outside now. I know our "official" temperature was only like 116 or something like that but here is what my car said....and believe me, it felt like it. I hate summers here. Thank God they only last about 3 months! I am sure that when I get my electric bill next month it will be a whopper! Well I must be off because I just noticed I need gas! I don't want to get it during the day so I shall do it in the evening when it's "only" 108 and no sun...
