It is not yet 10:00am and it is already 90°. The online forecast says we'll have a high of 104°, but the weather lady this morning warned of temps peaking at 109°. Either way, that is just plain hot. This is the time of year that tests our mettle here in lovely Bakersfield, Ca. This is what separates the men from the boys. It weeds out the riff-raff. It is what shows the rest of the world that we are strong. Stand tough, Bakersfield! We can get through this!!

...oh, boy, it's hot.....
