Yuma, AZ postmen and women have to park at the corner and walk their route in 110 degree heat. That's 110 degrees in the shade!!!

1. Wait till folks can't pay their heating bills and freeze this winter. Just wait.
The articles will be extraordinary, because the result will be inevitable.

4. Maybe they should get scooters

5. My sister has been told it will cost her $800 a fill.
She uses heating oil. That's about $2,400.00 for this winter.
