"Recall the summer of 1980, when 69 days – 42 of them in a row – hit 100 degrees or more. Two of those were a record 113 degrees. " - Dallas Morning News
And the average maximum temperature for July was 105.3 degrees.
What a beating. And, boy, was it.

So was I and I was PREGNANT! Very Pregnant. It was SOOOOO hot. I laid on the couch with A/C on 60 for most of those days.
Barry ...
It was VERY VERY Hot that summer. But wasnt life so much better then. The Fort Worth TCU scene was the place to be :)
Man. That was the one summer I worked for the Highway Dept. during college. Try standing there and watching other people work in that heat. Man that was tough. LOL. I also went to the Willie Nelson picnic that summer. That was hot too...in many ways.
Since we seem to be going down memory lane, I was in the seventh grade spending my days at the lake singing another one bites the dust and wondering who was having the next slumber party. Don't remember a heat wave though!
I helped a friend move furniture from Waco, TX to San Marcos, TX. His car was not air-conditioned, and the electricity was not turned on in the apartment. THAT WAS HOT WORK!!!
Is there a worse job than roofer or asphalt worker in this heat? What's your choice of worst job?
