(OP) User ID: 58397495 United States 09/01/2022 08:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My neighbor has been watering his plants 2x a day in this heat. 1000 gallons each time. Pulling it out of the ground. Quoting: Crunch62 I am worried about my well going dry. whats he using 150 gallon smart pots? tell him to put some hay or mulch on top to keep the soil cooler He was using bags a couple of years ago, but just has them in the ground now. Lots of compost, etc. They top out around 10-12'. Lots of water, though. What the Hell?... |

It was never that hot in south Calif where i grew up, ever. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71375307 I grew up in So Cal, it was never this hot. I moved up here about 36 years ago. Here in inland Nor Cal, we normally get 'a few days' each summer that are hot. But this is different. It has been 100+ nearly every day since late May. It aint normal. Imo they've been manipulating the weather like crazy. I grew up in riverside, even way back then we were trained to be water conscious. The santa ana river was full when i was a kid but in like 15 yrs later it had dried up. |

It's not a bad place to be 'from', as far as So Cal goes. Just too many people there for me. It was hitting 100K population in the 80s. The place where I live now has a population of about 300 people. It works for me. What the Hell?... |

Fill a bottle with cold water and spray it on your face. Keep fan on yourself. Wear cotton. I have been subjected to high temperatures and these methods work. The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance.” —Aldous Huxley For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them. Proverbs |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 82395098 United States 09/01/2022 09:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am assigned in Downtown Sacramento for two days doing gas line locating. It’s 104 here today. Going to be 111 next Monday 😳. I gave so many waters away to the homeless while I was working today……super sad. It’s not my responsibility nor can I afford to give away anything…. But the human suffering is overwhelming in this heat wave. |
