Sunday hit 105 degrees in Tulsa, and the week's reviews tell the story of who kept the town running. Air-conditioning technicians answered emergency calls within hours, plumbers fielded after-hours requests, and burger joints — from Ruby's to Smashburger to McNellie's — saw lines form as soon as the thermometer climbed. Fall is coming (the first cool morning is near), but this week belonged to the people who know how to handle triple-digit heat.

Next week the forecast dips to 69 degrees at night — time to call the HVAC crew for a tune-up before the first cold snap, and maybe trade the ice cream for chili and wings as football season kicks into gear.
