I know this is random, but I finally got my first heat advisory of the season. It's about time. However, it was extremely difficult to mow the lawn earlier, and I am hopefully about to play tennis in a few minutes here.
Our excessive heat watch was upgraded to a warning this afternoon as well. That, along with a severe t'storm and flash flood watch, prompted a rarely seen two-page Weather Bulletin on my IntelliStar, which I'll upload in a minute here...

The northeast is finally getting the heat.

Although, what temperature does it have be up in the NE for an Excessive Heat Watch or Warning to be in effect?

You guys are talking about 90s, but currently in my area it is 95 with a heat index of 100, and we're not under anything. Tomorrow's supposed to be even worse...heat index near 105 according to TWC.

Ugh, the heat index seems to be bad everywhere lately.

If anyone can believe this, I still have Windows XP and have not had a problem with it. It seems like a lot of people complained about Vista, so I'm glad I did not get that. Any comments on Windows 7? Good? Bad?

One annoying thing with restaurant conversions down here are the conversions of well-known chains to "random" restaurants that I've never heard of. For example, a Long John Silvers turned into some random Mexican-Seafood place and a Jack-in-the-Box turned into a Mexican food place that's definetely not a chain.

I sent a request email to Al saying to have on the LF Simcity Week (August 10-14), Wubbzy Week (August 17-21) and Spongebob Week (August 24-28). Also I told them to broadcast from Wubbzy World from August 10-14.

BTW... Wubbzy World is in Luna Pier, MI.

Please, please tell me this is a joke.

No offense, but I would really be embarrassed if I were you right now.

If Steph doesn't like being on a show with Al Roker, she should ask if Al can get another co-host.

Who says she doesn't like being on a show with Al?

I wonder why they closed restaurants to turn them into car dealerships. That seems strange to me.

Me too. I didn't realize that was such a popular conversion for old restaurants. I'm assuming they tore the building down. Or not?

Now, after thinking, one bad restaurant conversion here was with a place called EZs. It closed, and now the site is a gas station (the restaurant buliding was completely demolished).

This is a really neat topic, Jonathan.

I can't believe a restaurant in your area was turned into a car dealership, though.

Right now I can't think of any bad conversions here; we've had a lot of restaurants close, but the buildings have remained empty with "For Lease" signs all around them. If I think of any conversions, I'll post later.
