I don't believe in a literal Hell -- I think we make our own Heaven or Hell here on Earth -- but if I did, I'd be certain that one of the hottest places in Hell is reserved for McConnell.

From Richard Stone at sciencemag.org:

"Death Valley holds the record for the highest air temperature on the planet: On 10 July 1913, temperatures at the aptly named Furnace Creek area in the California desert reached a blistering 56.7°C (134.1°F). Average summer temperatures, meanwhile, often rise above 45°C (113°F).

"But when it comes to surface temperature, two spots have Death Valley beat. A new analysis of high-resolution satellite data finds the Lut Desert in Iran and the Sonoran Desert along the Mexican-U.S. border have recently reached a sizzling 80.8°C (177.4°F)."

Portland OR with 115 was giving Death Valley a run for its money. (Stay cool, folks in Portland!)

As was Seattle yesterday (115). Finally last night brought wind and coolness. In for more today it seems.
