Summer started last Friday, what are your plans this season?

[simmerskool]

That reminds me of my dirve through the Canadian Rocky mountains. Speeding along the curves, when I suddenly came to a V turn, nearly veered off into the cliff.

ooohh, I doubt the train will encounter any V-turns, expect some good views...

My plan is to stay warm, as it is winter here.

Do you get snow in Australia? I just read an article the other day that Melbourne is one of top 10 cities in World to live. Could be my next trip, or that would be nice if I could make that happen.

 

[simmerskool]

Well, it's 115F here so I'm just trying not to die. #lifegoals

we get a number of 105F days here unfortunately it is not a dry heat... Temp humidity index too often 110-115F

Be sure to know how to say "where is the toilet" in French..Qubecers will ignore you when you speak English. Or stay withn the tourist areas.

Years ago they passed a law mandating that English merchants make signage in French even though their clientele are mainly English speaking. They have a strong feeling that they are under seige by English speaking parts of Canada.

my brother took French in high school

C'est bon. I took French in grade 4. Forgot 95% of it. Spent the class time talking to pretty high school girls.

It'll get a lot hotter here than 115F; it's only June. It's a dry heat too, but at 125ish it really doesn't matter.

We don't get much snow here in Melbourne,. but we do get snow in the mountains which it's about a 3 hour drive north east from Melbourne, if you like to ski. We do get hail at times.

Not all Quebecois will ignore you if you speak English, especially in Montreal where many people speak English. They passed a law that all signage in Quebec must be French, this is one way that they are trying to protect their French language and culture from being swallowed up by the English all around them. Whether that is true or not I cannot say. I'll be going there next winter for a couple hockey games.

A thread concerning "how to make your PC survive the hot summer" would be nice.

After having the driest & the sunniest & warmest spring ever recorded in this part of the UK I've already had lots of BBQ's etc & done most garden work although my back lawn is looking overly brown - I'm hoping to go up the the Norwegian Fjords later in the year, assuming those (narcistic fools) in power leave us the planet as we know it?

Leaving for Malaysia within 4 weeks, stay there for a month or maybe permanently.
Finally going home again !

I remember the days in Houston, when opening the door to go outside and getting hit with a wall of heat and humidity. The amount of mosquitos there also surprised me, they weren't as big as the ones in MN, but just as pesky plentiful.

Mosquitos love heat and humidity.

Spent some time in TX on the bend near Corpus, I got eaten alive esp after heavy rain which was surprisingly often, no wonder few people went out much (like a fool from UK I did that often)

Ho hum to the great outdoors. Does nobody have any interesting security projects? Make up one now.

But summer is meant for being outside, I'm sure not going to sit inside and stare at a screen when the weather is nice.

But I have nobody to go outside with.
