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.

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.

15828. Ulgine Barrows - 7/15/2005 4:52:48 AM

Liberte!

jayackroyd, if I was to buy a lime in your neighborhood, what would it set me back?

15829. Magoseph - 7/15/2005 4:10:10 PM

Mac, any fishing in store for you this weed end?

15830. Macnas - 7/15/2005 4:24:36 PM

Nope, no water, no sea trout.

15831. Magoseph - 7/15/2005 4:29:30 PM

You have a drought, there like in France?

Flexy saw this morning how important it is to be able to make a dog heel when the situation demands it. He had two encounters with three leashed dogs that went berserk when he went by them with our Butch who was extremely angry straining to get away from him. When he came back, he warned me to be careful when I walk pass these houses. I told him that I have this type of situation completely under control. He was unbelieving, so we went out with me leading the dog, and, naturally, the three dogs barked crazily at Butch while he last totally ignored them. Men can be so certain that only they can do the right thing--it really boggles the mind sometimes.

Does your wife have this kind of problems, Mac?

15832. thoughtful - 7/15/2005 4:34:33 PM

Mags that's very cool to know that it works.

15833. Magoseph - 7/15/2005 4:42:51 PM

thoughtful, I learned that by reading the link you provided--thanks to you I was able to show off to Flexy.

15834. Macnas - 7/15/2005 4:47:03 PM

My wife brooks no disobedience from dogs. Once the dog knows who is who, it took commands from both of us. We just make sure we use the same command and tone, so the dog knows what's being asked of it.

As for a drought, we are at the start of one to be sure. But it would not take a drought for the level of water in the river to be too low for sea trout to move up stream, which is the case at the moment.

15835. Magoseph - 7/15/2005 4:55:16 PM

...same command and tone, so the dog knows what's being asked of it.

Another good advice from you, Mac--we're going to work on that now.

Have a nice weekend!

Amazing that Armstrong could maybe win again.
