| Man you crazy South-Westerners and your weather. 90 degrees is never cool in the Pacific Northwest. It reached 88 here last week and we were seriously hurtin'.
What were you doing in New Mexico, fun stuff or was it for work?

| I usually head to New Mexico in the summer or early fall to escape some of the heat here in Arizona. Albuquerque is home to a lot antique malls and flea markets that are fun to explore.
When I lived in Portland and it got above 90 it could really be uncomfortable- I lived in a 3rd floor apartment with no air conditioning. |

When I got out of school yesterday, it was a cool 99 degrees here in Tennessee. Bride knew what they were singing when they said, "It's hot down south tonight"!_________________  I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. |

It used to be only the "rich" people had air-conditioning up here in Washington and Oregon. But more and more people are buying those little window model a/c units. The Staybrite family still does not have a/c. But you can bet if we lived in the South or the Southwest we most certainly would.

| In the UK we don't need air conditioning. We just need a brolly!
I couldn't stand it being really hot - give me a cold winter sun anyday!!!

We usually have a few people in the area that die from the heat each year. Two or three years ago, when the Wilson Co. Fair was in full swing, they had 2 people die just at that event from the heat. I can't remember the year, but I do remember playing at the fair with Drumdude and his family. It was 106 degrees while we were setting up and doing the soundcheck._________________ I might have decided, or maybe not, that I should or shouldn't, depending on the issue or non-issue, to possibly share or not share, any thoughts, opinions, or facts (that might not be deemed factual by some), due to possible fear of any misinterpretation or retribution. |

| When we lived in N.C. I remember hearing about a few people dying from the heat each year (seemed more common for it to be the elderly).
