Well folks its Feb and for two weeks now its been heqq.

All the sauna businesss have gone under.The birds dong sing from 10 amm till 5 pm.

Down South fires are starting so it looks like(when) the storm finally comes it will be a Biiig one.Last month we had thunder and lightning for over three hours smahing window panes next door.One of the loudest in years :shock:

So if any of you want to lose a little weight you more than welcome to fly over here and you will go home lighter :wink: :)

On a serious note .Some strenious activities must be avoided or else one can get very ill.Three liters of cold water intake is good .

So ya we been relaxing in the creek with ice bucket and the aircon is On all night :wink:



Have Fun
Francois

Yea, it is warming up here too!! :D Yesterday all the ice on the streets melted! :D
It was mentioned on the weather report last night that we havent had a temp over 60 degrees since November 2009! :shock: That may sound strange to some folks but, you must know about Kansas weather to understand. :confused: This is the longest period of below 60 since 1985 or something. :shock:

Take care Francois,

Extreme heat can be deadly.

Hope the fires don't come your direction.

We've got another storm on the way. It doesn't look too bad, so far.

Mango, it's almost all gone except for the piles. We didn't get any last night, but we're supposed to have wind gusts up to 50-60 mph, so there will be lots of trees down with power outages. Thank God for a gas fireplace!
