Heat wave? Not to panic, it's called summer

Who can tell the best lie about the hottest day they ever experienced?

One of those off-the-wall weather forecasting outfits predicted that it would be 119 in the shade this Saturday afternoon right here in Davis, California.

If you don't have shade, things could be much, much worse.

Actually, all "official" temperatures are taken in the shade in the interest of protecting those pioneering meteorologists who actually had to venture out into the elements to collect weather data.
