This is not the time to talk to me about this, anyway..... been
working on the boat today.... making up some cables and moving a
battery..... heat index of 117F.

What am I supposed to believe when I read:
"At 237 PM this afternoon... the temperature at the Raleigh-Durham
Intl Airport reached 104 degrees. This breaks the old record of 99
set in 2001.
101 degrees sets a record maximum at Danville Virginia for todays
date... breaking the old record of 99 in 1987.
99 degrees sets a record maximum at Roanoke Virginia for todays
date... breaking the old record of 97 in 1977.
92 degrees ties the record maximum at Blacksburg Virginia for todays
date set in 1983
a record high temperature of 98 degrees was set at Wilmington today.
This breaks the old record of 97 set in 1979.
A record high temperature of 105 degrees was set at Florence today.
This breaks the old record of 98 set in 1963."


I wonder if that is for the season, or just the date. I wonder if it
is a trend, or just a fluke as we know we really don't know if we are
just in a normal cycle. But at the same time, I think although kind of
trolling, I have pretty much stated my opinion (if not overstated for
fun) on GW. I also agree it is time to go work on the boat, it rained
here all day, coldest weather I remember in August in a while But it
is clearing and me and the family are heading for the water in the
morning. Good boating to everyone this weekend.
