109° F / 43° C

My eyes just popped out of my head. As I was checking the blog, I saw that the current temperature has hit 109° F.

Hello??? This is May, not even mid-May. Holy Smokes, if this is what May looks like, I can hardly wait to see summer (said with tongue in cheek.)

Many many thanks to the hard working volunteers at Safat who got a whole bunch of us back in the aggregate. I don’t know what happened, but I know you guys don’t get paid and that you do this out of the goodness of your hearts, as a public service to the Kuwait community. God bless the work of your hands. Thank you.

AdventureMan said the highways were empty this morning as he headed in to work. What does this mourning period do to the elections in Kuwait, scheduled for this Saturday? Will they be postponed?

  2. Ansam means breeze! How lovely! And the breeze in May keeps it bearable, doesn’t it?

  6. It didn’t feel as hot as it was – it just kept getting hotter and hotter. It also feels humid, now.

  7. Can hardly wait? Are you sure?! Better put your AC on maintenance before you get stuck with 45c under shade! 😛

    I guess you already know why the roads were empty, don’t you?

  8. Mac! I said “tongue in cheek” and that means I am kidding! Oh, that hot heat just makes me tired. *sigh*

    Yeh, and I understand that the elections will proceed! Interesting times . . .
