Grin Good weather here in Delhi now

Last two days the temperatures been 50-75 F.
Humidity is below 40%. So pretty pleasant.
There is sunshine now. It is 11.45 a.m. here.

When there isn't or at night I have all the yellow electric bulbs on.
I can't do without strong light.
Cloudy weather is bad for auto-immune conditions too.
I couldn't stand the English weather, and it was partly that which made me run away.

I can put up with a few days of gloomy weather if it appears after a spell of a couple of weeks of 110-120 degrees, which has me hiding in my room with the AC running full blast, not more than that. In that kind of weather my body burns. So I need ice bags under my feet, on the top of my head and another one that I can use on random bits - face, palms.

I love tropical rainfall 'though - like in the eastern part of Africa. Massive thunderstorms and sheets of rain.
But then I like everything about that part of the world. EVERYTHING!

Dear Friend,
That is an absolutely beautiful area.
When I was small we camped and hiked in the Shenandoah National Park a few times.
I have great memories.

I wonder if it is more crowded with tourists now than it used to be.

isis, I can't imagine living in that heat although I did live in arizona before here and it gets that hot there but everything is air conditioned and I don't remember it getting that hot then....like it does now.
sometimes I think there really is a global warming but then we get snow in louisiana 2 years in a row.....
climate change or what ever.....
the weather can be crazy...mother nature will do what ever she pleases!
The festval was canceled yesterday due to the weather but today the snow melted off the roofs and it was a beautiful day. I saw some clients today and ended up going to part of the festival by myself....much smaller and indoors this year....no big bon fire
anyway the day was great....the music group that I listened to was a trio, accordian, fiddle/harmonica/vocals, upright bass. and they played latin/spanish/gypsy jazz music, and she sang in spanish, french and english!!!!
I loved it!!!!!!!
getting ready to watch scent of a woman....Al is the man!

Thank you Mari. There is so much park land near hear. We have the Shenandoah National Park,the Appalachian Trail,Skyline Drive,and the Montechello.

There are roads that weave in,and out of these hills. When I moved here from Richmond,I could hardly believe these roads. I learned pretty quickly that when I come to a red light on a hill,I put my foot on the brake so I won't roll back into another car,and my other foot on the accelerator.

There's one mountain up there where you drive into fog. I'm not a expert on this area,but where I live was where the Monican indians lived for thousands of years. I've found arrowheads. BF

Default turned on heat and the fire alarm went off

HI,

I turned on the heat for 20 seconds in the afternoon.
The system burned off a lot of dust and set off the electric fire alarm.
Hubby was not happy. I had to turn off the fuses in order to get the fire alarm to stop.

Now the place still smells from the burning dust and hubby says we will be fine without the heat tonight because he is fine. What!

I want the option to turn on the heat during the night but it might wake him up and set off the alarms again.

It is supposed to be 48 F degrees later tonight.
I told him to go find the freeking electric blanket for me.
Good luck with that. It's in a box somewhere.

Well, the last couple of days all that CNN and BBC show is about the weather and about Copenhagen.
Discussions on Copenhagen have now reached the 'analysis' stage, and I am beginning to channel surf.
Um, I know this is not a good thing to say to most of you, but from where I am the snow looks beautiful! And the Christmas lights and all the happy energy!

Isis The snow is very beautiful. The sun came out today,and I saw sparkling snow flakes about every two feet apart. So it was a white blanket of snow that was sparkling in the sunlight. BF
