It's 84 and humid as hell here today and I'm bitching and moaning. A few weeks back or so, it was in the 90's and hot as hell, and I just looked out the window and smiled knowing I also had a nice generator just in case.
But 120? gadang!! That is DEFINITELY stay indoors at all costs type of temps!!

US Southwest sizzles as temperatures near 120 degrees
PHOENIX (AP) — Temperatures approached 120 degrees in parts of the U.S. Southwest on Monday, and forecasters said this week could bring the region's hottest weather of the year.
Phoenix reached a sweltering 115 degrees (46 Celsius), which broke the previous daily record, according to the National Weather Service.
"I'm hoping to stay in the air conditioning all day, and I'm planning to take it easy," said Lisa Kirby, who was visiting from Rhode Island for a conference.
Firefighters and city officials Monday morning distributed bright red cloth visors, hand fans and blue-colored cooling neckerchiefs to downtown Phoenix commuters, advising them to stay inside as much as possible.
A heat advisory was in effect for west Texas and southeast New Mexico into Monday evening, with high temperatures well into the triple digits, the service said. Afternoon school bus service was canceled Monday in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where the mercury climbed to 105 degrees (41 Celsius).
