LOL! 106° cam sometimes seem a relief. For the past two weeks most daily
high temps were between 111° and 114°.

Actually within the last couple of years there was some news item about
frying an egg on the sidewalk. It actually doesn't really work that way.
However, if you leave a cast iron skillet out on the pavement for a few
hours, you can definitely cook an egg in it. If the egg is directly on the
pavement it just gradually dries up, but doesn't really cook.
