Hi Neocon, we have a very nice summer over here, day temperatures around 90 F, night around 60, and low humidity, sunny all day. That's as good as it gets , usually. OTOH air conditioning is rarely found, so 90 can already pose a threat to weak or elderly people. Also there is a low moving in very slowly from the West, the slowness means there is lots of time to heat up over France, so the temperature won't have fallen much when it reaches us, but the high humidity will sicken people. Especially those with a stroke risk. I will try not to over-exert myself, but I have a chilled-Coke dispenser near my unconditioned, sunny-side shadeless concrete-building office-room, so I am unlikely to fall prey to the heat. A propos, do you remember the Hemingway story with the flying ducks and the feverish boy (I'm not sure whether it was a Nick story or not.)? So I needed nwselp.epcc.edu for conversion. Best regards, MNI. REAL PS: There are two for you to read. Derek offers some medicine, that you may deserve Message 10785875 Gustave has found a new source of shiny yellow metal in conspiracies: Message 10792261 I think both are interesting reads. Don't over-exert yourself, MNI.

"Yesterday the Hemingway story - ah, I will move that to the Feelings thread." I still don't know the title, either, but the point was: the boy didn't know that the nurse who had measured his temperature was using the Fahrenheit scale, nor that there were two such scales. A little over a hundred sounded somewhat alarming for him - understandably, he was used to the Celsius scale and knew that a little over forty was assumed to be lethal. My dearest publisher* Alistair Cooke has a Hemingway-readalike in his most recent issue. He doesn't say when it was written, but I assume it must be 1982 or something. Do you agree? news.bbc.co.uk * there is a little bit, but not a lot, of irony in that one. Anyway, today it is the 99th birthday of Queen Mum <g> I saw only now that Hamburgers were part of the following posts. What coincidence ! Regards, MNI.
