Good morning! It's going to be a hot one again, I guess it's just good preparation.

hi Sput!
Is it unusually hot there this year?
We've been having the coolest summer I can remember, in all my many years.

They say it rained on the playa the other day.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 6:58 am

It's been hot a lot. Not sure how it rates in the overall scheme of things, but daytime highs for the past month have mostly been in the 80s or higher. This after an unusually cool winter. On the plus side we've gotten rain, so its' not like we're in a drought.

FaeTora · Post by **FaeTora** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 7:00 am

I think today here will be 98 with 88 percent humidity here. The playa will feel cooler that here. Thats what I have been told by people frm Houston who have been.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 7:03 am

Yeah, that's what I like about it. Even when it was 110 it didn't feel bad because the humidity was so low.

FaeTora · Post by **FaeTora** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 7:14 am

yeah everyone here is more concerned that I remember that it will be freezing cold at night. Houstonians aren't used to the cold. We get three weeks max of winter every year and the entire city shuts does if snow hits the ground.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 7:17 am

It can be cold, but the past few years have been really balmy at night. A lot of the time I haven't even needed a coat. I'm still bringing one though because I don't want this to be the year I really need it. Two years ago on temple burn night it was very cold. A bunch of us were on an art car stuck in between a bunch more cars and couldn't move, so we had to huddle down under all the blankets and furs we could find to stay warm.

I love those nights. When I lived in Upstate, my wife and I would cuddle close on the couch or in bed with a cup of tea. Those were the best days of my life.

FaeTora · Post by **FaeTora** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 7:25 am

And breakfast.

Yeah, it was just like that, only we were all so damn cold and we didn't want to be there anymore but couldn't leave because the damn temple wouldn't fall.

ETA: Sounds like you had the better deal.

Aparagus. You are on a diet, as are several on eplaya, so I thought a healthier breakfast would be well placed.

And I don't eat snails by any name.

Wow. I guess I'll just look like a dweeb with my Norman Rockwell absinthe.
you do make me laugh, at times, Fishy..........

And it's hard work, I tells you, hard, bloody work!

Hey fishy! How about a Pago Pago?

VeganChoirGirl · Post by **VeganChoirGirl** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 11:00 am

Yeah, it's been the coolest summer on record here in So Cal. I haven't had one day spike past 100 and most haven't even broken the low 80's at max. The last week has been in the 70's and evenings and nights have been comparitively cold. It's SO strange.

Anyway, at work...wishing for some of that yummy absinthe everyone seems to be bringing this year!

I am with you Sput...bring the coat. Better to be prepared and not cold.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 11:05 am

I hope I get some of that Absinthe this year, it's been a long time since I last had some.

Novelty to be under 100 here.

YOU! Step away from that sugar cube!

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 11:47 am

You don't approve of the sugar in the absynthe?

geospyder · Post by **geospyder** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 11:52 am

Just a flashback. I'm from the sixties. Sugar cubes had a whole different meaning. On the serious side I guess you'd call me an Absinthe virgin. I've never tasted it. This will be the year.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 11:57 am

Hoping that you find some good absinthe

Crystalline pure cane juice.

I'm bringing absinthe........and, I found an absinthe bar, last year.......
actually lots of folks bring it but, don't necessarily pour it easy.......it can be terrible expensive......cheapest I've ever seen is 30 bucks for a 5th (can't remember the ML's)
