if there were no need for 'engineers from the quantum plenum' then we should not have any unanswered scientific questions.

Well, it's been 6 days since I even looked in here. The last three days had a heat index over 105f/40.5c. Today wasn't so bad...not as humid. But I'm tellin ya's...I so miss Michigan this time of year. A dip in Lake Superior would suit me fine.
I get cranky in this heat. I have to work in it all day. By the time I get home, all I want to do is get cold and sleep.
The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.

Not good.

Quote from: "deekayfry"There are indeed four seasons in Central Texas
Some refer to the seasons in terms of how hot it is

January to February- Not so Hot

March to May - Hot

June to October - VERY F#$%IN HOT (as in blistering, turn you lobster red, instant dehydration HOT)

November to December - Huntin' Season!

In South Carolina where I grew up, we had four seasons, Summer, Huntin, Alergy, and Christmas..... Not in that order.

Wait!!  Change that to Christmas, hunting, mild allergy, heavy allergy.... He'll agree (we are both Clemson alum BTW  ;) )

Where I live it's rain, rain, not so much rain and lots of rain.

Does it not snow where you are?

Sometimes. Last winter there was a lot of snow, but usually it snows just a little bit and then rains.

Ah, but it depends on where in Norway you live. I live in the south west, and that's pretty much how it is here. I would expect there to be more snow north and east of Norway.

I hate to bump this old thread...but...the weather here finally broke. Well...at least to my standards. What a sucky summer! I put 0 miles on my motorcycle since the beginning of April. August had 30 days over 90f/32.2c and 22 days over 100f/37.7c. The hottest day was 107f/41.6c. And I work outside. And the truck A/C broken all summer.
Lucky for me I got a promotion and get to work in an air conditioned vehicle (most of the time) till I retire....which'll be at least the next ten years...*chucklin*

It's so nice to come home and not want to pass out.

Summer finally got here to SoCal, four days after it offically ended.  Sunday was 83F, and yesterday 94F.  Given that I live a fifteen-minute walk from the Pacific, these are very hot temps.  Today we're back down to 74F or so, which bums me out.
