Cary, NC Realtor Compromises Principles! 102 degrees IS HOT!

Okay.

I surrender. Unconditionally.

I capitulate to the heat Gods, or the flames of Beezel-Bubba, or whatever is going on in Wake County,NC.

When I said "95 Degrees is NOT HOT" it was absolutely NOT MEANT as a challenge!

It's so dang hot, Barry Saunders says in the Raleigh New and Observer today that the early bird needs a pot holder to pick up the worm. Film at eleven

It's so hot I'm sweating butter. And I don't want a hot biscuit!

It's so hot the train whistles are limp.

It's so hot I'm delirious...seeing mirages of snow drifts.

It's so hot I put the Haagen-Daz in front of the air conditioner vent to soften.

It's so hot I saw two agents fighting about who would pick up a hot referral. Neither wanted it.

It's so hot that "sweating the small stuff" is not optional.

It's so hot that "No sweat" is a lie, in any context.

It's so hot that all the beige in Cary is running.

It's so hot I'm thinking "buck nekkid" might just be appropriate professional dress. (Hold on. Don't get your hopes up folks. That was humor.)

It's so hot the cat let the dog catch her, and the dog never moved.

It's so hot that cruising ActiveRain has raised the humidity.

It's been unGodly hot here in NW Ohio. In the mid 90s for weeks at a time. Not common for our area at all.

Ok Mike,
Are these original? If so, you might need to look into writing stand up comedy. Enjoyed the post, thanks.

If the beige ran in Cary it would reveal the beige below it.....

We just got back from enjoying the mountains and rafting in the 50 degree water of the Nantahala River - today was almost too much!

Mike,

I finally found the ticket. I was not drinking enough water. I still sweat, but I guess that is good for your pores.

I wish the market was hot.

I tell my perspiration-adverse wife that she should worry about me when I STOP sweating.

Water, indeed!

Thanks for coming by!

Leigh's comment is priceless. That's why I don't drink and rain at the same time. Let's see, let me try my hand at this: It's so hot! How hot is it? It's so hot that the only way to cool down is to walk in the "rain". I have so many customers say they come to the North Georgia Mountains for the cooler temps. Well, there's goes that business... Funny post and we need more of them. Thanks for the giggles.

Mike that was so funny! We have hit 104 here in Kannapolis. I keep telling my husband that I thought I had left the 100+ summers when we left Texas but they seemed to have followed us! Just keep drinking that water!
