Phoenix sizzling in record heat

Overheated people 'have no tolerance for anything'

PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- It's so hot windshields are shattering or falling out, dogs are burning their paws on the pavement, and candles are melting indoors.
...
Terry Tapp, owner of an upholstery repair shop, said some windshields shatter when the heat causes them to expand. Others fall out when the glue holding them in place separates. The heat is also cracking and peeling dashboards.

"But the funniest thing you see with this heat is that you get the grumpiest people who come in that you have ever seen," Tapp said. "They have no tolerance for anything."


And I thought 85 was hot. I guess this means that I'm only cranky due to heat, but that doesn't explain it during winter.

I would imagine that there are some super high electric bills out there right now.
