Michael Hopcroft Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I wish Day of the Dead got more traction in the US. A solemn remembrance that is also a party where you celebrate the legacy of your departed loved ones. pinecone and Pariah 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If India or Africa decided that air conditioning was "necessary", we'd only be doubling the world electricity consumption, approximately. If it's too hot OR cold OR wet OR dry for you, don't live there! I felt this way when I lived up north. If going outside means you will die then God clearly doesn't want you to live here. I left the frozen, murderous wastelands 30+ years ago. Pariah and assault 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Funny. I left my hometown of Circle, Alaska and went straight to Georgia. Unfortunately, I arrived in the middle of winter and thought "sweet! I can ride all year round down here!" When the job finished up, I stayed. That first summer, I was hospitalized twice for heat prostration. I'd give a leg to get back to the frozen whatever it was you called it. pinecone and ScottishFox 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first rule of Heat Club is that you get a comfortable indoor job working with computers. One of the guys I play D&D with here is in construction and due to the heat down here he has to take a couple of gallons of water to work with him AND a jar of pickle juice to prevent electrolyte problems. Triple-digit heat plus physical labor is a recipe for disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Oh, that was better than thirty years ago. I do much better now. I don't _like_ it, but being in it for 12 to 14 hours a day.... Well, adapt or die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I am very glad that this was not one of those times. Still, it's getting hard to keep up with the tragedy. The El Paso Wal-Mart victims include at least one toddler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
