Seriously, a freezer sounds like an excellent idea! I actually went out with a hose and sprayed down the outside of the a/c (along with some suffering plants), figuring it couldn't hurt to try it, and it made a difference!

Yeah, 122 isn't normal here at all.

Spraying things down and the house does make a difference. It gets rid of some of the built up heat

yea 122 is ridiculous. You are talking heat index I assume for the NW but any way you put it thats hot.

I don't know what a heat index is. (Like a wind-chill factor, only the opposite?)
I have two digital weather stations in my garden. Yesterday one read 122 and the other was 124. Today it's almost noon and reading 115 on both. Also huge clouds are forming so we might not set a new record. I live in Southern California and we pretend we don't live on the edge of the Mojave Desert.
I hope you are having much cooler weather!

OK.
I have been to that desert five time. Damn hot and you can't get away from it. In the winter frosty lives there. lol

Yes, I can tell you know the place!
I don't know if you've read any Louis L'Amour books (Westerns) but in real life he once had to make his way out of the Mojave, in the summer, with nothing but his survival skills. Every time I read that story I bless the a/c!

Yea there are couple story about people who walked out of deserts. Its really remarkable on the will of some people. It was a rough life back then but then again the life expectancy was not as high as it is now. It's incredible what we take for granite now a days.

Totally agree. I like to think I'd be good in a survival situation (or living as a pioneer woman) but it's more likely I'd just be cranky about it. :-]

LOL I would be looking for my car, refrigerator, inside bathroom and McD's to name a few
