I'm just now drying out from having been outside long enough to carry a plate of garbage to the compost heap. Harrumph! The weather station says it's only 78.4 F out there. But *its* thermometer is in the shade. Shade temperatures were in the nineties a week or two back, which is unusual for northern Indiana. Whenever I checked the weather, I got a "dangerously hot" warning and had to page down for the details. My brother-in-law told me that he'd stopped playing tennis, but I kept on cycling. However hot it is, it's not too bad with a ten-mile-an-hour wind. (But when I stop, sproing!) When you ride a bike, the universal farewell from strangers is "be careful!"; that week it changed to "drink water!". I was mostly drinking tea and switchel; I have discovered that I can freeze switchel concentrate in half-cup containers and boop up water I've picked up along the way. Switchel is an eighteenth-century hayhand's drink consisting of ginger, molasses, vinegar, and optional oatmeal. I substitute honey and freshly-squeezed lemon juice for the molasses and vinegar. A little starch in a drink helps it get from the bowels into the blood stream, and ginger keeps the cold water from upsetting the stomach. I think the sweet and the sour are just to make it taste better, but I *have* found that lemon water -- after squeezing a lemon, I put the spent peel into ice water -- goes down faster than plain water. -- Joy Beeson http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where it's sunny and clear, the corn is stressed, and the beans are starting to feel it.

[lace-chat] Re Weather
Noelene wasn't the only one with snow on the highlands, we had it here in Victoria too, and we lit a fire last night, it is supposed to be Summer after all. We are just spoilt from the drought and all the years of warm weather we had so shouldn't complain I suppose. Shirley in Corio, Oz.

Re: [lace-chat] RE: Weather
After Noelene's comments about how cold she was in Cooma, I listened more carefully to the weather reports - and there *was* snow somewhere in the highlands of New South Walesso that explained why Noelene was so cold! In Sydney, it was cold, but not bad enough to warrant a fire. And another heatwave on its wayoh dear! Shirely, can't you keep that in Adelaide, instead of pushing it east?? After all, you've got all those lovely beaches close by!

Heard from Mum and Dad who are at Mallacoota, (far eastern Victoria, on the coast), and they said it was pretty cold there today (28th Oz time), and they weren't going out fishing. Next thing, Noelene'll be reporting that it's snowing :-) Cheers, Helen, aussie in Denver, who's savouring her Cherry Ripes, Weet Bix and Violet Crumble she got for Christmas :-) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have to say, I'm another who loves hearing about the weather in other places. Where I live in Michigan, we had a very wet spring, and the Grand River near where my parents and brother live reached its highest level since the 1960's. Lake Michigan recovered several inches of depth --we've been having low water levels, and some people who bought waterfront property on rivers that feed the lake found themselves looking out at mud flats these last 5 years or so. I forget how many millions or billions of gallons they said it took to add an inch to the level of Lake Michigan. This affects Lake Michigan shipping, and the ore and cargo freighters have been loaded less heavily to avoid scraping bottom in the harbors and channels. Lots of money has been spent on dredging the channels deeper. Last year we were adding on to our house (a geodesic dome-room with a little bunker basement), and it seemed like every time the contractor put his hand on the back hoe, it began to rain! Today it's an overcast and steamy day, but we are still going to the beach for our son's 5th birthday.

Clay said... I'm confused! Here in good old Virginia, USA, a temperature of 79 Farenheit is considered fairly comfortable. unless there's a tremendous amount of humidity to contend Here in New Zealand, (and we are not attached to Australia!) we have what is know as an island climate type vs the continential climate. The main differences are that our temerqatures are more moderate... i.e. we think we are nearly dead with a frost of -5 C (Approx 18 F) , and likewise with the heat. 80 F is stifling! We do not get snow here where I live. I do know that the extemes in a continential climate are much larger, thus ones tolerance of a wider range of temeratures is far greater. Hopefully that will explain the reactions to temperatures, Clay. Maxine >From a warm, and today sticky, New Zealand, where I have been inside painting cupboards etc:-), instead of lacing.
