It's so hot out ... we held a contest
Everyone complains about the weather, but no one ever does anything about it ...
In reality, there's not a lot we can do except complain, and maybe have some fun with it, as a record-setting heat wave hit us this week. We opted for fun over complaining so we held a contest to see which suburbanite could best complete this phrase: “It's so hot out that ...”
Our judges had a tough time picking the winner among the piles of answers we received, but, in the end, Lisa Scarpaci is our winner for this comment: I've got my a/c turned all the way up to bankruptcy ...!!
Lisa wins a $50 gift certificate to Sweet Baby Ray's in Elk Grove.
