Hang out next to a creek or river after the dinner hour.
Cold water was created for a reason.

I didn't even mention the two bear species that will eat you, the cougars that will disembowel you, the wolves that'll eat you alive, and the bison that'll stomp a mudhole in your sorry self if you get off the path! And wind. OMG the wind up on the Highline is unreal. Cap all that off with the fact that you're sitting on the edge of what is likely the worlds largest volcano and it really is a damned unpleasant place!

Holy [email protected] horrible..horrible..

Wonder how much a few acres would be in western Montana..somewhere near a creek....hrm

Horrible I tell ya..

"Toe"bal Warming?

I hear that it MAY actually get so hot this weekend … that my wife's feet could go from "frozen" to "cold".

Make sure you hook your solar panels up to your nipples or your Tesla won't work.

I thought it was your testicles? My bad, that was at Gitmo.

I lived in San Antonio, TX for 5 years and I don't miss that scorching summer heat at all.

Climate Dome, where mooseknuckle meets science.
Fight!

I don't have a clue what that means, but I'm looking forward to it!

Sexist.

I'm in a 52 year old single-wide with no insulation in the walls and one 6,000 BTU window A/C.

I'm not looking forward to this. At all.

Maybe you can get by with one more 5000 BTU A/C? Cheaper ones at Home Depot are $169.00. I would probably spend $219 and get a 6000 BTU A/C, just to get a better (or at least better known) brand. I like my 8000 BTU from LG, I paid $300 a few years ago.

That won't work in my bubblegumty old house. It would trip the breaker. The outlet I have the window A/C plugged into right now was custom installed when I had the ceiling replaced on it's own circuit. That, and I need a specific casement window A/C, which is hard to get and expensive for the output they give.

I've been thinking of a wall A/C and finding some contractor to install it, or a single-unit mini-split for $1,400 through HD. Either one would be way more powerful than my current window unit.

3 takeaways from PGE in advance of Oregon heat wave

The utility provider is encouraging consumers to reduce energy use to avoid outages.

At 3pm I bumped the AC temp up to 62. You can't say I don't do my part.

My kind of weather. I actully leave my windows up in the truck with no A/C and enjoy the heat.! I should live in Arizona.

Something else I did when I lived in a much hotter climate is cover one side of a window-sized sheet of cardboard with aluminum foil. I stick the cardboard in the window when the sun is shining on it and I find it helps a lot to reduce the inside temperature (foil side facing out, of course). No cost, just the hassle of putting the foil cardboard in and out, and from the east side of the house (in the morning) to the west side (in the afternoon). At one time I had a severely undercooled house and the inside daytime temperatures rose to 85F. With the foil card board they dropped by at least 5F, maybe more, it's been decades since I had to do that.

This might even call for frozen vodka.

Commendable!!!

Where in Oregon is this heat dome supposed to be?

eta Vancouver will have 1 day over 100 for the next 10 days

Probably right over the Statesman-Urinal's office. My extreme left wing climate crisis loving Yahoo news 10-day forecast is only predicting a high of 103 during the entire period (Sat), and only 5 days of 100 or more.

Time to retreat to the deepest recesses of the Cave (or, as you surface dwellers say, the basement) till it's over.

My theory is that the heatwave is being caused by adolescent space aliens with a giant magnifying glass.These hooligans were pulled over recently in Oklahoma and let off with a warning.
