Darn weather... (rant)
Yesterday, rebuilding brake calipers on driveway, enjoying a clear sky and 79 degrees....
Today, sitting inside by the fireplace, watching the snow come down outside at 28 degrees... I can't win!

Yep. I was headed for Montreal tomorrow to play with my father's (new to him) 86 Carrera Cab. Now it's calling for snow and rain, so I'm staying home.

Ok all, I'm taking up a collection for a ticket out to Arizona so I can personally brake Joe's legs. Who's in?
Just kidding, Enjoy your weather, you couldn't pay to live out there in the summers!

Folks back east...I do feel your pain, having lived (if you can call it that) in Roachester for a few decades.
88 degrees and 4% relative humidity is FAR different than 88 degrees and 90% humidity. Even the slightest breeze feels comfortably cool.

Bob and Joe, I'll bet you buy skin lotion and lip balm at Costco
I was in Peoria last weekend and thankfully there were some thunder clouds and rain mixed in. It get's mighty DRY in Phoneix!Bummer to you folks getting those big temperature/weather shifts. I thought high 50's and clouds sucked... |

Dave:
Actually, no. What has happened is I plan any outside work for early mornings since even in the Summer the overnight temp drops 30 degrees or more, making even the hottest days start at 70 degrees or so. The dry is what makes it tolerable. I do remember "back east" that a day of 80 degrees could be intolerable due to the humidity. Only "Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun"!! Phooeynix is a place I avoid at all costs (apologies to anyone living there). It is hotter than Tucson, more frantic and crowded. Reminds me af an east coast city plunked in the desert and no aware of the limitations on water and other resources.

Looks like my Saturday autox is going to be canceled due to the cold. And I just put my RA-1s on. Figures.

Yea I get how humidity messes with warm weather. Ever been to Korea in summer?
What I'm saying is that everytime I go to AZ, and I love vacations there, is that I feel like sponge bob when he leaves the water. DRY. Retreating to AC hotel room does not help. DRY. Good excuse to drink more beer/wine though! Cheers!

I'm at Dinosaur once a week for lunch (looking at it right now out the office window, in fact). The worst part about Syracuse... is once the road gets clear, the work crews "spring into action" b/c the season to repair the roads is so short. The wheels are turning to get me TF out of New York State. It's a shame I have to leave Syracuse in order to leave NY. I get a lot of lamentation or pity about living in Syracuse, but it's a great place. We had 9 weeks of winter this year -- 1/15 to 3/23. If we get snow that doesn't stick, as we're going to tonight, it's essentially just rain anyway and it's not like I'd be out on the bike or in the 930 in the rain. Having spent extended time in a lot of places in this country, I could not live in either Miami (or most of Floriduh) or AZ. But I can more-or-less understand why some people would want to live in those places. Then again, I can also more-or-less understand why some people would watch the View.  However, there is one particular town in Texas represented hereon is my least favorite city in the US... I could suffer through most other places, but not there. I'll never understand why someone would want to live there as opposed to anywhere, anywhere else. JP
