So I run over to the hangar yesterday to pick up some stuff for the
hotel, and I hear an airplane go over. I look up to see "The Mighty
150" struggling to climb in the thick, humid summer air.



Actually, the hot & humid air is thin...

Ummm... the hot & dry air is thin...

You guys kill me....

We all know that humid air FEELS thick. I went running this morning
with my son, and felt like I was breathing through a wet sponge. The
air felt like if we added .000001% more humidity, we'd be under
water.


Did you happen to take an unwanted detour through the hotel pool?

then freeze, as I snatch a glance at my watch.


You froze in the thick, humid summer air? Dude, you need to wear a hat
or something. :-)

I shiver, and move on. Damn, time flies.


See. The air was cold. That is why it was thick. :-) Kind of like
people who can't see past a metaphor without being pedantic. ;-)

Yeah, time flies. Next thing you know you will be teaching his kids to
bait a hook.

Hmmmm...was this supposed to be a play on words, maybe said
in jest, or do you really not understand the relationship
between humidity and atmospheric density?

Baum), why don't you pull your delicate ego out of your ass and tell me what
I'm thinkin'?

THAT feels "thick" -- thus the literary turn of phrase.
