Who needs the Mayan Calendar when you have 80's pop... Buster Poindexter predicted the feeling for today perfectly...

Me mind on fire
Me soul on fire
Feeling hot hot hot
Party people
All around me
Feeling hot hot hot

So we go rum-bum-bum-bum
Yeah we rum-bum-bum-bum
Feeling hot hot hot
Feeling hot hot hot

We walked 18 holes today on Green Mountain National. Temps when we started at 8:30 were hovering around the 80 mark. By the time we finished, the car read a toasty 89. For readers to the south, that may not sound like a lot, but for the Green Mountains of Vermont in late August, that is blistering heat.

If the weathermen are reading their tea leaves right, the heat will continue at Killington thru Friday after which a cool down to the comfortable 60's will take place next week...right on queue after Labor Day to start the fall season.

Where ever you may find yourself, stay cool, keep it in the fairway and don't forget the sunscreen.
