Yes, that’s exactly how I feel today. I’ve been outside twice today to run errands. Both times I felt it was hot enough to melt people if they stood in one place for more than a minute. You have to move just to create a nominal breeze to keep from melting.
The weather prediction was for the temperature to only get to about 90 degrees today. According to WeatherBug it’s 91 degrees. Factor in the humidity, though and the heat index says it’s 98 degrees (actually, it’s fluctuating between 97 and 98 degrees). Personally, I think the heat index is wrong. It doesn’t feel like 98 degrees. It feels like 120 degrees.
My last errand run was to go to the store to get some groceries for my aunt. One of the things she wanted was ice cream. I stood with the door to the ice cream open just looking at the brand and flavor she wanted for about a minute or so. The icy air coming out of the freezer felt like heaven. I wasn’t even trying to find what she wanted. I had it right in front of me. I just didn’t grab it so I could look like I was trying to find something.
I hate when it’s hot like this!
So, who knows the name movie for the quote in the title of this post? What’s the character’s name that says it? Who played the character?

Well, you were lucky, it was 14 degrees up here, that’s about 58! Welcome to the frozen North. Wanna swap homes for a week?

Alexandra,
I think you’d melt down here in about a day.
Lola,
Hey! You saw the Sanitation Gods vehicle of power!
Yep. It’s from Biloxi Blues. Sorry, no prizes. I should probably offer prizes next time.
