Spent two student summers waiting tables there...summer poverty in NO

Are you going to do it, Judith? I think that would be great!

15811. judithathome - 7/14/2005 1:40:55 AM

I may...I think I'd like it.

15812. Macnas - 7/14/2005 1:42:49 PM

It is just so fucking hot here, for me at least.

Hey, Mac!

15816. Macnas - 7/14/2005 3:16:42 PM

Hello Mago.

15817. arkymalarky - 7/14/2005 4:05:00 PM

Is the humidity high, Mac? That's what's killer when it's hot.

15818. PelleNilsson - 7/14/2005 4:08:26 PM

Thanks, wabbit. An amazing site.

It is hot here too. Close to 30C (86F) for almost two weeks. From here I can see some birches which for lack of rain have started to turn yellow two months ahead of time. But cooler weather with some rain is said to be on its way.

15819. Macnas - 7/14/2005 4:09:49 PM

Yes it is Arky, 'though not as high as it can get in your neck of the woods.

In any case, Irish people are just not used to extended heat waves

Plus, the lack of water has meant that I cannot go fishing for sea trout. I promised that I'd take my daughter this year, and my explanation of low river levels is getting a bit tired to her ears.

15821. arkymalarky - 7/14/2005 4:12:35 PM

It's around the lower-mid-90sF for highs here, which is very typical this time of year, and in fact not as bad as it gets many years. It's been drier than usual, but a good rain a few days ago helped a lot.

15822. arkymalarky - 7/14/2005 4:19:04 PM

Awww, can't you go and just not catch anything?

15823. Macnas - 7/14/2005 4:24:01 PM

It's depressing enough when I know there are fish in the river and I can't catch them, never mind when there are no fish.

I'm waiting for the usual mid-day thundershower here in the Catskills. My sister is still shovelling out from the mess left by Dennis. It could have been worse -- my brother-in-law swam down the street to their house on Saturday after the rain stopped. They had about a foot of water on the first floor, but otherwise things looked good. Everyone was safe and the plants will recover.

15825. Ms. No - 7/14/2005 4:25:35 PM

This will be the third day of 100+ weather for us and it's very humid for Los Angeles. May have to drive up the coast to the beach this weekend. I haven't been in ages.

15826. arkymalarky - 7/14/2005 6:54:49 PM

My lands, people are having the weather this summer. That's good news for your sister, Wabbit.

Flexy asked me today why I didn’t listen to The Marseillaise today—well, I hadn’t because I didn’t realize that it is July 14. Jexster had a link of Mireille Mathieu, which I keep religiously, and I put it on full blast and, guess what, I had to stand while it played, just as I did when I was a child.
