Yes! I saw her post-round interview. Cute Aussie/British accent. I had occasion to visit the British Embassy in Saigon once, and the pure bred Vietnamese girl at the front desk had a thick, barely understandable British accent.

130? Nah.. It can get hot as fuck, but not 130, unless you mean heat index.

Agent Orange is a mean Mother Fucker. Good luck beating back the Non Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Just 18 more hours until our heat cap breaks! I can't wait!

"wimps!!!!!" (in an old codger kinda voice)

back in 1980, we had 70+ consecutive days of 100+ degree days!!!
but we were the wimps
wichita falls had more consecutive days of higher temps!


it's all relative!
in nyc, "hot" is anything over 91 degrees.
in my experience, until it gets in 100+ territory, what's hot to one person is quite comfortable to another.

btw, i'm just staying in cooled places (home, restaurants, shops) and just grateful for messrs carrier, friederich, lennox, etc for inventing & improving air cooling systems!!!

was glad that my provider friend had her rooms cooled down to 72 when i arrived the other afternoon for some delites!

i'll be donating some money to agencies so they can buy a/c units or great fans for those who cannot afford to buy them.

You are an Old Codger. For 2 reasons. One is forgetfullness. It was not 70+ consecutive days. It wasn't even 70 total for the year!

Second reason is your emphasis on an older time period, when 2011 was HOTTER!

Many are forecasting that 2022 will be the hottest in US history. It is 97 degrees in Philadelphia today!

The past 7 years have been the hottest 7 years in Global history.

My focus is hourly at this point. 3 more hours and this Fucker is done for a while
