the worst part of the whole thing is that there is no air conditioning

[marcelomaddaloni]

I can't understand why almost everyone is under the sun

I woke up last night, towel dried the sweat off of me, changed my sheets, guzzled some water and went back to sleep. I woke at dawn covered in sweat and with stiff muscles from dehydration. This is nothing short of brutal!!

From Vancouver it's really hot currently, everyone is incredibly hot and has been going downstairs to relieve themselves from the hot air, currently upstairs there's a lot of fans running.

So, it’s one degree hotter than it was in 1937.

how about you clear-cut some more old growth forests. I'm sure that will help.
