The Buckets by Greg Cravens for August 18, 2020

I’m good for 3 to 5 minutes before I get hot.

Touche, Toby!

Get used to it. It’ll take many millenia to scub all that CO2 out of the atmosphere. It might help starting not to dump any more. Starting now.

Don’t forget humid!!

The dogs get morning walks. No evening walk unless my wife wants to do some training. I lost my heat tolerance when I moved out of Las Vegas.

The sun just bakes you if you stand or work out in it. Super hot.

As long as I’m in a shaded area with a cool beverage, I’m good

Of course, we’ve had a couple of days of sorta cooler weather here. That’s actually why I drew this cartoon, just so that the Contrary Nature of the universe would step in with a breeze just to prove me wrong. I should hire myself out to draw cartoons about particular towns in drought and stuff…

I’ve wanted to go back to working nights for over 5 years and finally got my chance a month ago

Loving it, except the last 2 months have been the longest string of 90 degree or more days I can ever remember locally, with no rain

I am actually sleeping pretty good, but I shudder to think how much energy I’m using to keep the bedroom cool enough to sleep during the day

It’s so hot I saw a funeral procession pull through a Dairy Queen.

Fortunate are those that have / can afford, air conditioning.

Over 100 before 10am here. %$#@!

You should’ve taken his word on it.

Must be Phoenix. 38 days with temp over 110, 10 with temp over 115. But it’s a DRY heat LOL.

In the southwest US heat records are being broken daily. 130F in Death Valley a couple days ago. In my town the temps are 15F above normal and rainfall is non-existent.

Venus is said to be our sister planet and we’re just trying hard to look like her…
