I'm in Illinois but I don't play the lottery either so I didn't win it. Whoever it is will probably get about 500 million after taxes and such if they chose the cash option. I think I could get by on...

Priscilla, I don't "do" the heat index either but the National Weather Service website 7 day forecast for my zip code also lists the current info, including the heat index.

Re: What is Happening, part II
In southern Illinois we're currently at 93 degrees with 71 percent humidity. That puts our heat index, or "real feel" temp at 116. I went into town this morning for a few things but now I'm hunkering...

Re: What is Happening, part II
Well, this isn't that abnormal for us so most people have AC. I don't really mind the heat that much as long as there's a breeze but it's the humidity that gets to me.

The heat index here is already 107 and it's only 10:30. Barely a breeze outside and humid as well. Another day of hiding in the AC.

For us 85 degrees would be a nice summer day if it wasn't too humid. As it is we're getting high temps and high humidity too, which is the worst.
