Lawrence of Glendale?

I told my younger daughter about Glendale in Los Angeles County going to 114 degrees THIS LAST WEEK and she called me "Lawrence of Glendale" when I said the hottest I had ever seen it there was 110 degrees in the 1950s and 1960s until I moved away at age 21 in 1969. We all laughed when she called me "Lawrence of Glendale".

I told her I had been in Palm Springs and getting out in 117 degrees is like stepping into a literal oven with your whole body. You know something is terribly wrong when you step out of air conditioning in temperatures like this into the "oven".

OF course you have to realize this is "Dry Heat" because humidity above about 110 degrees of any degree would start to kill people at this temperature. No one would have brains to come in out of the rain in humidity at this temperature.

This is the biggest problem with this much heat. If you stay in it too long you can no longer make good decisions and then you either wind up in the hospital or dead. ONE OF THE TWO.
