garage sale

I now have a cute little propane grill. I do not in any way need to OWN this item, but I bet it's cheaper than renting one somehow. It was also cheaper than buying even one dinner out, and considering I have four buffalo-burgers in the freezer waiting for me, I think I did all right. It may go to Goodwill when I'm done with the burgers.

Man, it's hot out. I keep calling San Jose's ATIS to get a current temperature, but San Jose must be in the shade: they say it's 29C (84F) and there is no way it's that cool in this corner of Sunnyvale. Walking outside is like getting wrapped in a burning newspaper.

Last Thursday it hit 40C here. And it was quite humid, too. I don't even want to know what 40C is in F; I think the number itself would kill me, even though it's cooled down quite a bit. (Needless to say, Thursday was a BIG migraine day for me. My head hates this heat).

YEOW. That's hot. I didn't imagine Egypt having much humidity -- are there humid parts of the year and dry parts, or is it humid all the way round?

Wish I could pipe you some of the East Coast's cool rain. I bet wcg could spare some.

Cairo is surprisingly humid. Nothing like Indiana, mind you, but humid enough that "dry heat" isn't *exactly* what we get. Yes, we're in the middle of the sahara, with almost no rainfall -- but we're also right next to this big ol' river, which has a palatable effect on the air around us.

The winter is usually more humid than the summer, so you don't *usually* get the really hot AND humid combination, but we sure did last Thursday. It was literally like stepping into an oven. I think the weather just did that so I would be happy with these 36C days with less humidity. And I am!! :)
