Melting? (Think Cool)

So said the Wicked Witch to Dorothy in the 1939 MGM film, The Wizard of Oz.
(Entire quote at end of post.)

Melting is what most of the U.S. is doing with temperatures near or over 100 degrees in many states before the July 4th holiday. Worse yet is that humid air is making it feel even hotter as temperatures seem more like 110 degrees in some areas. When we lived on the VA eastern shore, summer temps would be given in terms of the heat index, a measure of how hot it feels when relative humidity is factored with actual air temperature.

While U.S. states are in the midst of a triple digit heat wave, it's hot in western Europe as well. There temperatures are in the 80s in countries more used to the 70s. 

Here's a way to stay cool — think about Winter which arrives Friday, Dec 21, 2018.

How HOT are temps in your part of the country/world — How are you keeping cool? 

Here's the rest of that famous movie line spoken by actress Margaret Hamilton: 

ARRRRRGH! — you cursed brat! Look what you've done. I'm melting! Melting! Oh what a world, what a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?! ARRRRRGH! I'm gone! I'm gone!
