While my friends back in the US Northeast break out snow shovels and salt spreaders the city of Melbourne is melting. Literally. Train tracks like the ones shown above buckled in yesterday's 43 C (109 F) heat. At 6 am this morning it was already 34 C (93 F) and the mercury is supposed to top 43 the next 2 days. Australian Open officials have sparked controversy by closing the roof of Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena to prevent players from dropping out of matches. The already bone-dry city hasn't seen a drop of rain in 4 weeks. The state of Victoria is under fire alert. Girls are wearing the skimpiest of outfits.Who's complaining?
