Heat wave

Its hot. In fact its 108 degrees but feels like 112 degrees hot right now. I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. We have our air turned down to 70 degrees and it's 74 in my house right now at 240pm. At 6pm it will be up around 78 which in my opinion is WAY to hot for my house to be. If I wanted it to be 78 degrees in my house I'd set the thermostat at 78 but I don't, I set it at 70 because I like to be cool and I like to be comfortable and at 78 I am neither of those two things.
Its so hot that last night I thought to myself "Self I bet if you sprayed down the front walk and patio it would cool it down a bit" so I did just that, I sprayed the entire entry walkway and porch. Only to make it NOT cooler but muggy. How is it that I created my own humidity? This is out of control.
How did we go from bearable heat to out of control heat within like a week period of time? And people say there is no global warming. Its so hot that even the idea of swimming in a pool is too hot. The only place I think would be bearable would be the river since we know that water is cold and it might off set the temperature. I think I should go buy a tiny tot pool, put it in my living room, fill it with water and ice and watch a movie. Hmm, I wonder if that would work at the drive in . . . . I am off to WalMart, wish me luck! Keep cool!
