In our radio news this morning, it was reported that Britain is in the grips of a "heat wave".

"Meteorologists reckon highs could reach 20C in north-east England by Tuesday, with highs up to 19C elsewhere."

Stay strong folks. Make sure you slap on the sunscreen and stay well hydrated. We're thinking of you.
Thanks for your heartfelt and sincerely sincere concern, Mark. We're seeing temps up to 25C now. Not having that every summer - and it ain't summer yet.

Of course, having found back to my (admittedly somewhat distant) African roots I handle it exceptionally well. Add another 5 degrees and I might even start feeling comfortable

The best ones are made by the Boeings.


Thought you might say something about that.


Most of the trails come out of Rollers, the kind from Derby or Indianapolis, not the Bay City kind..

I helped make some last week, a back & forth trip to the Mile High city for a meeting. Comfy little 737-900


Is that all the travelling you did last week. I went from London to Detroit and back again.

Currently 33C here with 41% humidity, you'd like it, a lot.
I hate it, a lot.

Well, it's all that my employer paid for, so yeah... <GRIN> If it was on my dime, I'd have been off to see Kilauea and pay my respects to Madam Pele, and I'd still be there! But sadly I don't have enough dimes

That said, USB3.0 installed in the workstation along with an integrated multi-card reading (SDcard) installed in a drive bay running at USB3.0 speeds!!! Yaay! Oh, and a new SSD C: drive
Sweet! 80-90 Mb read speeds (what my cards support) are nice with large RAW files.
