    You know, when I was living in Texas and coping with 105° - 110° summers I thought it was insane. I have no words for someone who chooses to live in a place that makes Texas look like a moderate climate. :)

    Question for you CD (I'm going to call you CD from now on, hope you don't mind. Even if you do, I'm still calling you CD ;) ) : "Ask the Attack Chihuahua!" only lets me be a US citizen! Now I'm British (well, mostly - if you discount the French, Irish, Spanish and Scandinavian in my veins) and I'm utterly appalled! How could you possibly employ such a racist dog?

    print "http://www.codeproject.com".toURL().text Ain't that Groovy?

      Trust me. I've been called far, far worse names. And answer to most of them. :)

      Chihuahuas are known for their very small perspective, which is perfectly understandable once you realize that they're a very small dog. That said, I've already been busted on this more than once, and it's on the to do list. In the meantime, feel free to Ask the Attack Chihuahua. Just pretend you're a Yank until the software is fixed and you can remedy the situation. :-D

        Sun baked came to mind, but I suppose thirsty will do. :)

          Where abouts in Texas did you live, and what posessed you to leave for California?

          Don't blame me. I voted for Chuck Norris.

              The fact that it was the longest possible route to get to my home in Atlanta. :)

                I believe once in my lifetime (37 years) it hit 110F here in Pittsburgh (summer of 1988 I believe) however that was just the one time and it has not been anywhere near that since. With that said I was out all day in the sun Saturday where it hit the mid 80s and I almost passed out from the heat..

                  That sounds like me when I moved here from the mountains. After 16 years I'm still not used to it, but I routinely work outdoors in 100 - 110 temps. Any higher and I can't function at all.

                      Is that ever true! Even tools on the porch, well shaded, are too hot to touch barehanded. But my other choice for a weekend project involved slicing and welding steel; that would have been just plain stupid.

                        As hot as your weekend was, the only sane weekend project would have involved the consumption of refreshing beverages from an air conditioned room.

                          That would have been nice, but the air conditioning failed, too. Late Sunday afternoon... :sigh:
