... Man you could fry eggs in that heat! The only time I ever experineced that kind of heat was when I went to Israel a couple of years back and went on one of those desert safaris. My god was I burning up. And to even show the heat outside the tour guide broke an egg on a stone, and low and behold it started sizzling. Crazy...

Actually you do. It's been pretty hot here lately, more than 25 degrees, and when the sun is shining badly it will get over 30, maybe 35? I think that's hot enough, and it's good that we don't have some 45 degrees here.

You tell them Red

Yes Venom we do need AC's here

(... well to tell you the truth open window is my AC right now though)

god it's hot right now...

the worst heat I experienced was during the universal expo at Sevilla in 1992, the hottest year of all the century. Man, on the central place ( just coming out from an underground car park ), there was a digital indicator,  it was showing about 52C° ( the damn place was all white, super refraction I tell you ). I almost fainted.
Aki, yeah, it's damn hot here too, and I'm locked in a room with 13 PC, 12 other peoples and a ****ing large window on the ceiling...
mum, help me!!!

Hell yeah. I got all my windows open riht now, though there is a slight cloud cover now, and it was raining a bit, but its so damp that its almost hard to breathe. I was at the flea market a couple of days ago, and I even got sun burned!!! Here! In finland! I guess theres a first for everything...

Sorry to hear that Venom, that sounds horrible. Reminds of one of my shorter jobs where I edited and controlled the internal TV network for a mall called Jumbo. Anyway, my office if you can call it that was about the size of a cuboard with 4 computers, the TV network server, about 9 TVs, no air conditioning and all smashed under the escalators. Talk about HOT. I was cooped up in there for about 9 hours at a time, keeping the lights low, cause the door and windows were tinted so no one could look inside. Whee. So after about 3 months of hell I called it quits. Didn't even pay very well.

You've been here? When? Maybe we ran into each other and didn't know it!

100F = 37.8C  In other words, hot.

I read a similar article in our local "newspaper" (it's not exactly The Times), and it credited the air conditioner with the devlopment ot the "Sun Belt" -- Arizona, Florida, etc -- over the last 50 years. Something like 95% of the homes in the US South have air conditioning now.

It was back in 96-97 in Eilat. Yes I know, tourist town, but still fun. It was alos the time there was quite heavy tremors in the region. I don't remember if there was a earthquake, but I do remember waking up to the bed shaking. That was cool! So if you were in Eilat around then, I guess we would have met.

I'll take that in the spirit in which I'm hoping it was intended....

Ahh well - first time I got down to Eilat was actually Nov. '97, right after basic training. Anyways, if you ever decie to come back for a visit, let me (and Ace Pace, I would think...) know!

[Gortef]

Damn Nico... you sure have a great place to be in summer... 13 PC's, heck I have one in my room (it's not so big but also not so small... take your pick ) and it feel like a sauna time to times... window open

Dark... burning yourself in Finland is not so new. It depends what kind of skin you have

Oh it'll start again today. Looking outside now is like looking at the bottom of a giant alien spaceship from ID4. With a bit of low rumblings...

Sandwich, yeah, I'll definitely give you call if I go back there again. I love to Scuba dive, so I'll most probaly end up going either back to Eilat, cause its rihgt on the Red Sea, or somewhere near the Sinai. Though I heard theres also some good diving u north in Israel. I'll probably drop by when things calm down a bit and I got some cash.

Sadly you're right... oh well... it does good for the nature to rain time to times. No need to complain in the end

Ahoy there! Send some of that H₂O over here!

Seriously, though, we are in dire straits, no pun intended. We've had a big brick in our toilet water container for the past few years so that we use that much less wter per flush.

[Gortef]

Believe me my friend... if I could I would send some water there

Hehe, no offense of course...

Before A/C, Washington DC was considered "tropical" by some European governments... I have also heard that some countries considered diplomats being stationed here in the summer to be deserving of "hardship pay."
