It's hot in Seattle today, and my brain is not used to it.
You people don't know hot. It was 110+ here yesterday.


Spend a couple years at the Oshkosh fly-in. You'll find hot:-))
Actually you'll find hot, cold, windy, rain, sunburn...although I've
never seen it snow during the fly-in.

Wow, that's hot. In my country, water boils at 100 degrees ;-)


Our water is tougher than your water and can better
stand the higher temperatures.

Three years ago the overnight temperature got down to 34 deg F.
Most of the campers cleaned out Target then WalMart in the first hour
they were open off all the blankets and sleeping bags in each store.
During AirVenture, Target gets a delivery truck every night and restocks.

It's been a few years since I've made it over. At the time we only had
the original Welcome Wagon which was "all open". I was dividing my
time between computers in the homebuilders center and working with the
Welcome Wagon.

I was staying about 6 houses or so North of the gate at Baslers. Nice
place, air conditioned, hot shower, fairly quiet except those damn
planes kept waking me up around 7:00 AM. (We were lined right up for
18, or right under the down wind for 27)

I ended up over at the homebuilders center quite late (well after the
busses had quit running) so they gave me a ride in the Welcome Wagon
over to Baslers. There was a light rain coming down, but no wind as I
recall. I had my jacket on over a sweater and I'll swear I thought
that rain was going to start freezing on the wind shield.

At least if the buss had been running it would have been warm. I
think those busses are our imitation of the Tokyo trains.

No more room back there? Ah! Then we can fit at least another dozen
in.

For those who have never ridden the busses, "That is not a joke".
