Heat Wave Hits Eastern Half of Nation
With the heat index heading toward 105 degrees, (40.5 celsius) Jake Stark is cooled off by his friend Trevor Ward, not pictured, while working in the hog barn at the Illinois State Fair, in Springfield, Ill., Monday, July 31, 2006. Temperatures soared across Illinois on Monday, with the blazing heat expected to approach 100 degrees in parts of the state over the next few days. There were no animals in the barn but work is being done in preparation for the opening of the Illinois State Fair on Friday, Aug. 11. (AP Photo/Seth Perlman)

Here in Ottawa, Ontario Canada, I am dying from this heat wave... It was 118F or like 47C today here in Ottawa. REDICULOUS. I say that the government should get working on weather control. Or like in Futurama, move Earth further from the sun...just during the summer months... :)

I'm in Chicago and we've been heatwaving pretty much throughout all of this. And this whole past week was 100 degrees outside.

This lead-in next to the cover photograph makes me wonder what the heat may be doing to the editor.
