Yet,folks were polite and patient,with no attempts at line cutting whatsoever.<br /><br /> During the '76 blackout(which I recall well enough from my childhood),people tore the town up but in '03,that didn't seem to be the agenda. Perhaps that's a sign of social progress:)lady thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287907577241697874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4178799195729667985.post-18434387637856469212009-08-12T19:42:21.416-04:002009-08-12T19:42:21.416-04:00Well, Portland Oregon has had the hottest summer o...Well, Portland Oregon has had the hottest summer on record with 10 days in a row over 90 & 5 days with temps over 100!

Whew! I think what really gets to everyone the most is the humidity. It's been brutal this week. You mentioned the concrete and steel radiating heat. When I was working and it was a hot and humid day, I could mark the line where that changed as I was driving home (south of work). Maybe two miles north of our house, when you got into areas with trees, I swear, the temperature dropped about 10°. It was amazing!
