    It apears that our June-to-October rainy season has started a month earlier than usual. We've been geting short rainshowers during the late afternoons. It's probably due to all that global warming that's been going around lately. :)

    37 yesterday morning, 42 this morning but the days warm up fast and into the low 70s so it isn't bad by 10AM.

    Still not what I think of as a May morning but it beats the snow on the ground we had until May 8th last year.

    Hit 100 on my thermometer between 3:05 and 3:13 PM EDST. This is probably because we're on the mountain with little wind. Humidity is 33% so it's not too bad. Felt hotter in the city with the higher humidity there.

    Oh, and yes, the thermometer is in the shade. It's a La Crosse with a remote sensor.

    Sitting in Syracuse NY. Just had a large thunderstorm run through. Nice rain and it seems to have cooled off a bit. The rain was COLD which means it must have been a high topped storm. Cleaned about a thousand miles of bugs and dirt off the windsheild too. Nature sometimes makes the best truckwash!

    I remember one summer late-night shift (I was driving teams then) through North Dakota where I was forced to stop my rig every forty-five minutes or so to wash the bugs off my windshield just to keep from being a hazard on the road. If it had been anywhere else but the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night, I would have had to do it even more frequently.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Well, the crap weather has finally arrived. 86 and humid today and 91 and humid tomorrow. Uncomfortable as heck, I can't understand how anyone could look forward to this kind of weather. Not that I like to rush the clock but frankly I can't wait till summer is over. But it's just beginning and we still have a few months of this garbage to look forward to. :(

    Sounds like your in the midst of the ice age. It's just a natural cycle. :)

    During the months of July and August my orchestra won;t be rehearsing at the usual music conservatory, which is air conditioned, due to the summer hours the conservatory closes early during the summer months.. The conservatory closes early during the summer. Instead we will be rehearsing at an old church that is not air conditioned. The only "cooling system" are a few ceiling fans hanging about 40 feet up along the high ceiling. As a result I probably will go to rehearsal every other week and avoid it on really hot days. Might even bring a clip on fan with me on the nights I do go. Fortunately in September we'll switch back to the conservatory.
