A little more than 20 years ago (for several years), I worked in downtown Atlanta (Midtown). I’m very thankful that I no longer have to fight traffic to go into what is now a war zone from everything I hear. It was pretty bad even then, but from all I read about it now, it is nowhere that I want to be ever again.

But they didn’t say “climate change”.

Hot town, summer in the city
Blacks shooting blacks, ‘bout foty or fitty,
Gunned down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a brain in the city
All around, runnin’ from the gunfire,
Blame it on the sun, just a bunch of vampires,
But at night it’s the same old shit,
Sun’s got nothing to do with it,
Come on, come on, and shoot all night
Blame it on the heat, I know that’s right,
And, bro, don’t you know it’s a pity
The days be just like the nights
In the summer, in the city…..

We’ve had around 15 days over 100 degree days in Kansas already this summer. Farmers aren’t killing each other. Just sayin’

So, in Atlanta, “When it hot, you git shot.”
Got it.

Gee Wally, we’ve known this since the riots in the 60s!
No kiddin Beave! It also explains why it’s hotter in Chicago… but only on the weekends… in the hood.
Ya know Wally… I’m beginning to think that we don’t really have a gun problem as much as we have a culture problem.

Solution – cool them off with fire hoses.

Progressives are loathe to blame people for societal problems. Riots in a city? Racism and lack of equality of outcome for disadvantaged groups. Increased violent crime? Heat, cold, or sameness (which is boring). Mass homicides? Guns (Although more and more violence is by knife or vehicle.)
Frequently, the problem is just “us,” and sometimes “me.” The solution is also frequently “us,” and sometimes “me.” We have a wonderful society – you can get an education, you can get a job, you can get health care, you can move to a better place, and you can associate with better people (caveat emptor – that’s probably not me). Politicians are chosen by voters, voters are people, so politicians don’t want to blame people for bad things. In our society, you are largely free to choose your own destiny and happiness-take advantage of it.

So how come Spokane hasn’t had a bunch of mass killings when our temperatures have been 95 to 100 degrees for the past week. Is it because we have a very small minority population of blacks in this area, could be but that’s probably racist to state that. We have enough of a problem with white crime around here for the most part.

I have lived places where temperatures exceed 120 F, yet I have never had the urge to open fire. Maybe a hat or something might help….

^^^ Spokaners wilt in hot heat, especially humid hot heat.
Atlantians don’t.

Going the other direction I’v had this reference for years. I gotta figger out one for 70 deg and up and maybe call it the Leroy scale…

40 You can see your breath
Californians shiver uncontrollably
Minnesotans go swimming

New York city water freezes
Miami residents plan vacation further south
15 French cars don’t start
Cat insists on sleeping in the bed with you
10 You need jumper cables to get the car going
5 American cars don’t start
0 Alaskans put on T-shirts
-10 German cars don’t start
Eyes freeze shut when you blink
-15 You can cut your breath and use it to build an igloo
Arkansans stick tongue on metal objects
Miami residents cease to exist
-20 Cat insists on sleeping in pajamas with you
Republicans actually do something about the homeless
Minnisotans shovel snow off the roof
Japanese cars don’t start

You need jumper cables to get the driver going
-30 You plan a two week hot bath
Swedish cars don’t start
Politicians actually put their hands in their own pockets

Minnisotans button top button
Canadians put on sweaters
Your car helps you plan your trip south
-50 Congressional hot air freezes
Alaskans close the bathroom window
-80 Hell freezes over
Polar bears move south
Green Bay Packer fans order hot cocoa at the game

We may wilt in hot heat up here in the NW which I don’t like but hot humid heat of 100 degrees and 100% humidity is something else. My daughter and her family live in Padukah, Kentucky which is way too much for me, I don’t know how they make it the thru the hot humid summers except for air conditioning. I always tell myself every year not to gripe about the hot summers because winter is already too close since tomorrow is the 1st of August and we never know what kind of winter we will have. And we have a chance of rain and thunderstorms today and tomorrow, We can use all the rain that we can get but no dry lightning since our tinder dry drought like conditions could create a lot of wildfires which we don’t need or want.

Could the sun having a gun be considered a solar ray gun.

Harry, “-40 Minnisotans button top button”
You don’t know how right you are! My first winter there, it was -40 degrees (real temp) the morning on the Friday before Christmas. My car started, but felt like I was driving a tank because everything inside the car was frozen. There was no give to the seat and the car creaked whenever I hit a bump. But I made it to work (40 min drive).
The day after Christmas break, when driving to work, I saw some cars racing on one of the 10,000 lakes. Freaked me out, but when I told someone at work about it, they laughed. They do that every winter, but not usually until January.

It’s the transplants from Chicago to Atlanta (Chicago South) nothing to do with the heat.
