Heat index in Dallas: More summer song memories!


It's been very hot around here.

"Today: Sunny. Highs around 102. Southwest winds 5 to 15 mph shifting to the south in the afternoon.

Tonight: Mostly clear. Lows in the upper 70s...except lower 80s in urban areas. South winds around 10 mph.

Tuesday: Sunny. Highs around 102. South winds 10 to 15 mph.

Tuesday Night: Mostly clear. Lows in the upper 70s. South winds 10 to 15 mph.

Wednesday: Sunny. Highs around 100. South winds 10 to 15 mph."

So drink a lot of water and stay in the shade!

P.S. The Lovin' Spoonful wrote a song about "Summer in the city". It is very appropriate today:

"Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty

Been down, isn't it a pity

Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead

Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it's a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come-on come-on and dance all night

Despite the heat it'll be alright


And babe, don't you know it's a pity

That the days can't be like the nights

In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city

Cool town, evening in the city

Dressing so fine and looking so pretty

Cool cat, looking for a kitty

Gonna look in every corner of the city

Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop

Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop


But at night it's a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come-on come-on and dance all night

Despite the heat it'll be alright


And babe, don't you know it's a pity

That the days can't be like the nights

In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city


Hot town, summer in the city

Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty

Been down, isn't it a pity

Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city


All around, people looking half dead

Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head


But at night it's a different world

Go out and find a girl

Come-on come-on and dance all night

Despite the heat it'll be alright


And babe, don't you know it's a pity

That the days can't be like the nights

In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city"
