At Death Valley National Park, the official high of 129 degrees at Furnace Creek Sunday established a new June record for that notoriously toasty site. It also tied the all-time June record high for the entire United States, originally established in the former town of Volcano in Imperial County, Calif., on June 23, 1902.
Sunday's high of 117 degrees at McCarran International Airport tied the all-time record for any month of the year in Las Vegas. That mark had previously been achieved July 24, 1942, and July 19, 2005.
As those 117-degree readings both occurred in July, Sunday's 117 marked the hottest June day on record in Sin City.

You have a lot of posts complaining about weather that you don't live in. Some people might have some different tastes and not be so intimidated by the challenges. Just sayin'

Saturday's 119 was the fourth hottest day ever in Phoenix, according to local news. Was a brutal weekend.

Are you ok with people confusing you for s-love?

I'm pointing out that there's a lot of posts complaining about weather that's not even his. And because I pointed that out, I get to hear how grueling his job is even though "Every man should do for a livin' what he would do for free."

I think you'd see the humor if you didn't think I was s-love and he didn't say so many mean things to you.

Once you register at Madjack's, with the username you select, that's it, that's your username. You can't have more than 1 username.

Gosh!


I have to explain everything.
