Careful you don't drop one of the really gassy ones, could bring down the
aircraft!
Saw a news blurb about the temps in Adelaide, 30 degrees at 6:00 in the
morning, high of 40. Whew....
We could use some of that heat here in the mid-central US, we haven't been
above freezing for two weeks.
Oh well, I'll remember it more fondly come July.

Stay cool,
Bill Wolcott





Thanks Bill. The cool change arrived this morning, temps down to the low
twenties with frequent showers since 0530.


I'm amazed that news of our weather has made it out your way, surely the
snow is a much bigger story.


Our background mortality rate seems to peak during a heat wave. I've
heard some startling numbers of elderly people who quietly expire in their
homes during the hot spells and community services like the Red Cross are
flat-out checking at-risk clients several times a day during the summer.



I think I'll opt to stay next to the air-conditioner.
