Hi Michael,

 RH> It's over rated.  114 isn't bad if you've got lots to drink and an AC

 ML> My top that I know about was 117 in Phoenix. But I sat in the back
 ML> of a convertible with the top down, so it was more like a convection

We've been in Phoenix on days like that.  We were at my sister's, in
Peoria, one Labor Day week end when it was that hot.

 ML> oven; then I went to play golf, har har, shooting about the
 ML> temperature for nine holes, despite or because of the beer wagon

Drink enough of that and even 9 holes could get rather interesting to
play. (G)

 ML> following us. My bottom that I know about was -53, at which you

Lowest that I can recall is -26 or so, any number of times at my
parent's house in the Catskills.  Crunchy snow time.

 ML> the ground. Much fun. You had to do your business really quick,
 ML> or else your peepee would fall off. I don't know about what women
 ML> did. There was one in our party, and lucky for her she had the
 ML> endurance of a horse.

Not an easy job but it's done and without freezing off any of the
anatomy.

 RH> Without the humidity we have in NC that makes it feel over 100 when
 RH> it's only in the 90s.  We should start to cool down relatively soon--a
 RH> few more weeks. (G)

 ML> What I find peculiar about the "feels like" temperature is
 ML> that between the heat index numbers and hypothermia alert
 ML> ones is a vast no man's land, where (say) 70F is deemed to
 ML> feel like 70F always, except that 70F with 40% humidity
 ML> seems to me like paradise, but 70F with 80% humidity is
 ML> just another clammy room in Hades.


I'd rather have it 70F with about 20% humidity.


 RH> Flat and fishy I could deal with better than hot and humid.  I'd miss
 RH> mountains from time to time but I've lived in flat places before and
 RH> adapted.

 ML> Mountains are dear to me, but if I can't afford them, too bad.

I miss them when we're not around them but don't miss the little hills
and hollows that are in the middle of nowhere.


 ML> I'd be required to teach other instruments, methinks.
 RH> Are you that well rounded? I can't teach music but at least can read
 RH> both clefs.

 ML> If I eat enough, I could teach all strings and most percussion.
 ML> Winds, not so much.
