It's very hot here too, but I am at 18 degrees north, but where Nez is it is hotter. It may be time to plant some Limon trees. Take advantage of that global warming up there. A Canadian is visiting me today and he complains it is hot up in Montreal until November now. Well hey, drink a Pina Colada, get in the ocean or pool and play any kind of tropical music {salsa, reggae, merengue, calypso} while you imagine you are staying at a 5 star resort hotel. Hope you feel better!

And I thought it was hot down here. We have had a very strange years so far, a wet dry season, a extremely humid but rain free summer and who knows what hurricane season might bring. They are even talking about water rationing soon. Take it easy on the beach Nez, you might be brown but you still can burn!

It's suppose to be 90 here tomorrow, and 96 Wednesday (seattle,wa)

I think my little corner of the U$ is actually staying "seasonal" as far as temps go (the OK panhandle is supposed to have high temps running in the mid 90s), but damn it sure has been humid. Heck, until mid-June I could actually find running water in some of the normally dry creeks - even on days where it hadn't been raining, and parts of the northeastern Texas panhandle were flooded out during May and early June.

Nez:

You gonna go to "Lawrence of Florence" for the camel rides? I spend a night at the Dunes there and after supper I decided to walk down to the water's edge, so I just went up over the dune and then down its other side and went up over the dune and down its other side. Finally, after about fifteen or twenty minutes of slogging I found the water and I thoroughly enjoyed walking around all the huge drift logs and looking at the marine life in the tidal pools. Then I decided it was time to go back to my campsite and at that moment realized that the dunes all looked the same and that there was an overcast and thus no sun (forget that boyscout navigating by the stars stuff) for me to use as a refere nce. I didn't panic though, because I suddenly realized that in a trackless wasteland there was one set of tracks--mine.

Over here, the humidity is very high. All you had to do was walk a few feet and your already out of breath and soaking wet. It is nuts. Last week, in fact, most of May and June we had non-stop rain.

It's just about Perfect in San Diego, the overcast lasts until a bit before noon and the rest of the day is beautiful. Meanwhile in the mountains they're dying, too unseasonably hot!
