...so much for global bloody warming....

Is that the inhabitants or the insects?

...just the women....

 

I've had to do a bit of googling.... it's something, light, flimsy or frivolous, including people.

It’s raining at my place.

 

You’ll be ok if your wear undies under your kilt.

 

You may have a bit of our summer.. take ..oh.. 30 degrees off the top perhaps.. I'd love the temperature around 70 to 80 degrees.. besides summer is around .. oh .. hell it's all year long.. winter is a few days of cold a few times a year. We'd like some of your rain too, just a slight shower daily.. we get 3 inches a year.. and it comes all on the same afternoon in about 3 hours, a bucket loads downpour.

 

It's so dry here that kiln dried wood shrinks.. I never buy hand tools with wood handles.. I praise the Lord when they started selling fiberglass handled tools... I don't buy paint with any red pigment.. it fades out.. I only buy adhesives right before I use them.. otherwise they'll fail, I always buy a new can of plumbing glue.. the old stuff goes bad too quick.. I have more square footage of roof to cover my cars and outdoor furniture than I have over my house... plastic does degrade.. turns to dust after a few months, a few weeks if left in the sun.. I dress the same year around.. long sleeves and clothing to protect every square inch of my body.. I buy sunglasses at least three at a time, I never want to run out of sunglasses.. I f the car has been left in the sun, gloves are necessary to grab the steering wheel, tho' usually we'll park so the su n doesn't hit the steering wheel, never stop to chat in the sun.. always seek the shade. I had two rose bushes.. bought and planted at the same time.. one was always in theshade and thrived.. the other got a few hours of sun and eventually died. If it ain't native to this place.. it will probably die. If I see rain clouds in the distance, I'll often try to drive into a rain shower, lotsa time only steam is left.. tho' occasionally we'll get a little sprinkle of mud..
If the A/C breaks.. I'll die.
I love it here!

 

We have four seasons where I am: Rainy season, short less rainy season (formally the short dry season but not anymore thanks to climate change) short rainy season and dry season. 65" rain annually and monthly highs averaging between 88 and 92 with monthly lows averaging 65-70.

 

Sounds grim, and mildewy.

 

There's the problem right there. You watch a sport that takes 5 days, has time outs for tea, with hundreds, even thousands or scores, and it can still end in a draw.

 

problem!!!...its cricket.... there is no problem, just grass, beer and the sound of leather on willow...the only problem is that rain stopped play!!

 

5 DAYS and ending in a draw?????? Are you kidding? That ain't no sport. That ain't kissing your sister. That's her exposing you on TV when the DNA test comes back you're the daddy. Now a 20 overs...

 

I was once listening to the BBC a looong time ago and the announcer, in very proper British, said "We understand the the BBC international has picked up our broadcast. We'd like to welcome you wherever you may be." I decided to listen to the broadcast of the test match for a bit.
At one particularly slow point, they break for tea mind you, they decided to take live calls from the listening audience. My favorite "I live across from the stadium and I think it's outrageous the way the Indians bring noisemakers into the stadium. Something aught to be done about it". After I stopped laughing I thought about what kind of calls Howard Cosell would have gotten if he opened the phones on Monday night football. That would be for the tasteless humor thread though.

 

of course not...there are wins, draws and loses....its the tactics that one employs in order to stave off the lose or battle for the win...if you are being trounced then why not go for the tactical draw, re-group on the next test and battle on. Test series are based on five tests i.e. five battles to determine the outcome of the war...tactics dear Blue...tactics

 

Get out the DNA kit Martha!
