I'm trying the dorms at Lawrence University in Appleton this year. $65
for a double room. Share bathroom with only 1 other room. And air
conditioned. The place is only about 3 years old. Singles are sold
out, but it looks like they still have double rooms. I haven't stayed
there before, so I'm only going by what's on their web site, but it
looks like a good value.

Please clarify for me. The $65 for a double room is a "double
occupancy" rate (i.e. $130 for a room with two beds)? Yes?

Thanks

Nope. It's $65 for the room. That's $32.50 each person per day.

Of course you could tell the person you're there with that it's $130 a
night for the room. Then it's free for you :-)

This year is shaping up to be pretty warm. It was 92 in Madison, WI
today. OSH is only 4 weeks away!

Oh, it will, since it will be a month closer to winter, the temps
will drop considerably.

Right....sure....

Plan on temps between 70s and high 90s with dewpoints in the 70s...

Summer in the midwest can be VERY fickle...But plan on unbearable heat..

The odds are on the heat, but I remember being hunkered down behind
the windshield of the welcome wagon with the hope that this was going
to be our last run of the day. I had a wool sweater on with a jacket
over it and I was still shivering.

I remember waiting for the buss at the terminal using an umbrella to
keep dry and a coat to keep warm.

I remember laying under the wing of the Deb thinking, "My GAWD it's
hot, I'll never make it back to my room". I barely had enough energy
to roll over to watch the air show from under the wing.

I remember it being too hot to even lay in a tent next to the airplane
for shade.

I also remember when we had a heat index of over 111. Of course that
was the same day my wife was riding her bike from some where out on
the Green Bay peninsula to Manitowoc where she'd catch the ferry
across to Ludington and then drive home.

I remember winds at 30 knots shifting from off the nose on 27 to 180
and the plane starting to skid at just about rotation speed. I
remember the temperature in the clouds as we climbed out was still
above 80. Only when ATC had us climb to 8000 (east bound) for traffic
avoidance over Lake Michigan did it drop to near 70.
..
Plan on heat and the odds will be with you, but expect almost
anything.
