i work in hartford too. with all the stuff floating around in the air, i'm not sure i would want to eat that egg.
the hartford school on my way home did not close early.
i got stuck behind some of the buses.
my high schooler was mad that our town didn't close school early today.
if it bakes overnight, there may be more closings tomorrow.
the brownish steering wheel in my car was HOT today.
i park my car so the back faces the sun in the summer.
my wife stopped home at 5:30 and said the thermometer in her escape read 103 on her way home.
a thermometer is a feature i look for when buying a new car.

"That is harsh."
 
I guess the emotorcon was too weak for the statement. You know that I would never hurt my Indian friend's feelings. Your country and people are too lovely.

"The rafts need 4 wheels and a motor for the discussion."
 
I'll help you work it in if I can figure out what you mean. I've been out in this 103 degree heat which has caused me to have a senior moment.

The schools closed when it reached 90 degrees?!!! If we did that in the South, we would never complete a school year. It was 103 degrees here today and the schools were on regular schedule. Tomorrow is their last day for the year. Now, for the next two months, it will be up to the parents to keep the children cool.

"...wanted the AC to continue to run while he/she was doing her/his shopping."
 
This must be a new social trend. I just noticed it about a month ago. The cars that I see have no pets or children in them. I have to look to see if the people are being cautious or just stupid. What a waste---gas, engine wear, money, safety, etc. How low will a person go to have creature comforts?
