Bakersfield is so hot that...
The birds have to use pot holders to pull worms out of the ground. You can make sun tea instantly. You learn that a seat belt buckle makes a pretty good branding iron. You discover that in August it only takes 2 fingers to steer your car. You discover that you can get sunburned through your window. You actually burn your hand by opening the car door. You break into a sweat the instant you step outside at 7:30 am. The potatoes cook underground so all you have to do is pull one out and add butter. Farmers are feeding their chickens crushed ice to keep them from laying boiled eggs.

...tanning booths lose business because you can get a tan sitting next to a white car. ...you can't wear spike heels because they sink into the asphalt when you walk through the parking lot. posted by

Even disabled people park 300 feet away if that's the nearest shady spot. And that's on a moonlit night. You wash your car windows every afternoon to keep the glass from melting. posted by

Nancy, I heard from him today. He's still up in Bodfish Canyon watching it all go on around him, but he's OK. Between the fire and flooding, I figure he's got quite a show up there. He said that so far, he hasn't been effected by it all. posted by
