Ya ought ta try Louisiana! We throw in the steam for free, too! Although we seldom hit Arizona Temps, it can get pretty uncomfortable. I have seen my interior thermometer at 165 F.

Of course you can post here too, in fact it is interesting, but a post in here will not earn you a drinking hard hat. (or maybe it will, depending on the quality of the post).

Dog Days, during which only madmen and Englishmen venture out. Or so they say...Finns would too, not because they're mad (in general) but because they love getting hot. It's not their fault, however, that their country got misplaced so far north. So instead they get their Dog Days inside a wooden box where they first get bare-naked, throw water on heated stones, and dream of Sumatra or the Yucatan for a spell...They shock themselves back into reality by running outside into a snowbank or jumping into icy water. This I find inhuman, so maybe they're a bit mad after all.

Don't go blaming Old Sol for baking inside your car. Park under trees! Besides, it isn't quite the same, is it?I mean, can you be naked inside your car in the American desert, beating yourself up with a birch branch while throwing water around for steam? Sure you can, but you'd be arrested for sure. Unless, of course, you could blame the behaviour on heatstroke...But you'd still get arrested. :)

Or "sAW-nah" as they say around here. Who needs a sauna when, here in Arizona, going back to your car after a gooodly spell in the Mall means finding yourself in " Finnish Sauna stage two" at the very least, and for free!
