Revisiting some old haunts and I came across this.
Newsgroup old timers
might appreciate it, particularly as an antidote to the
girly pics...

I guess I'm an old timer. I recognized the URL and ,
thankfully did not open it.

Having a bad week Taddy?


Scotty




Actually, yes, Scotty. There are going to be some very unhappy clients
tomorrow, and I'm also looking at a summer in drought in the middle of
the desert every two weeks with the temperatures in the low 50s
Yeah, but it's a DRY heat!

'fraid not. 'tis the season of thunderstorms. This area is far enough
north (Lat 27 S to Lat 28 30 S) to get regular tropical incursions, which
create roving thunderstorms, so when they're around, the 1% RH goes up to
70%. That means you can get appallingly bogged in fine fine loose dusty
sand and stuck there to be hit by a local thunderstorm which makes the
sand driveable but wipes out all movement on the clay flats...or one gets
stuck by floods coming in from the northeast. Makes for interesting
times.

Sounds like you need Jax riding shotgun.



Not a ring of fire I would wish to be anywhere near, let alone fall into.
