    I lived in St. Louis and in the summer temperatures were typically above 100, 105 was not uncommon at all. Old people died, obviously not me because here I am typing furiously.
    In Vietnam in the summer temperatures were worse than St. Louis in the summer but I was 20 years old and kind of enjoyed it.

    I've been in hot hot Vietnam , Atlanta and St. Louis and I found it no worse than summer in Phoenix or Death Valley and now Portland, Oregon.

    Hey, I was 20 and could get a whopping boner just walking down the sidewalk past a pretty girl. Yeah, those were far far different days.

    Every time I think about excessive weather patterns and the precious lives lost I get angry at those that would hinder progress toward mitigating the bad that comes of global warming.

    It hit 130 in Death Valley and it hit 117 in Vegas. Very large forest fires are burning everywhere.
    This is the end my friend.
