It's summer again and the weather is lovely. I am enjoying myself thoroughly. Who else is enjoying the weather, wherever you are?
Resource Consumer posted 06-18-99 09:29 AM ET
Alright for you (ex) students. Make the most of it for later you will be be qualified to sit in some airconditioned prison with no sunlight.
Education. I ask myself was it worth it?

Please don't remind me, Resource Consumer. It's my last bout of freedom.

Make the most of it, Provost, turn of your computer - put on your Zak sunglasses and go out into the light.
Dance naked in the forest with Deidre
Pray with Miriam
Keep the peace with Lal
Train with Santiago
then go and make a fortune with Morgan
and hen you've done that - send for Yang to PB the company

The weather? You ask about the weather? It's pouring! As usual. Bergen is not called "Rainbow city" for nothing!

Another odd summer here in D.C. Normally, it's about 95 degrees and sticky for about half the summer. The other half is at 90 degrees and sticky.
Today we had 70 degrees and cloudy. What's up with that? In the Midwest I hear that it is a scorcher. Not that I'm complaining about the cool weather...

Actually, hate to bring reality to bear, but the Earth's perihelion is during the northern winter...

Sod the Australians and the South Africans that's what I say.

DanS: You live in DC?! That's where I live! What part?
Yeah, the weather's always weird around here. Yesterday, 89 degrees. Today, 74 degrees.
Provost Harrison posted 06-19-99 06:59 AM ET
Well, I spoke too soon. it's now cloudy. Anyway, the earth has two perihelia: winter and summer. It reaches these points at (almost) exactly opposite points in the year (the orbit is slightly off).
Going punting (again). Should be a laugh, although there is no chance of working on my tan today

It's freezing here in Sydney. Well, by our standards at least. It's cool enough that some people wear wool gloves in daytime, with the sun out.
Spoe posted 06-20-99 02:49 PM ET
Actually, each planet has one, and only one, perihelion(closest approah to the Sun). The other, apohelion, is the farthest point in the orbit.
JohnIII posted 06-20-99 02:53 PM ET
Unless it has a circular orbit ...

My suspicions were confirmed. This weekend had the rainiest day in June in 138 years! That's right, not since 1861 did we have so much rainfall in June. And in Bergen, that's saying a lot!

Actually, the Midwest has been cooler than usual, although today should get rather hot.
JayPegg posted 06-26-99 04:05 PM ET
Hey Valtyr! Is that Bergen, Norway? My Parents lived there for most of their lives. I went there once, nice place.
Valtyr posted 06-27-99 04:18 AM ET
Yup, that is Bergen, Norway.
Finally: SUMMER IS HERE!

Valtyr posted 06-27-99 07:09 AM ET
And then it disappeared...
Go away, clouds!
Galen posted 06-27-99 05:17 PM ET
DanS, I'm in the midwest, and 70 sounds nice. Hot is in the 80s, 70s are nice. Of course, I like it cooler than most, so lower 70s upper 60s are my range.
Incidently, I was born in DC and lived in a Maryland suburb of DC until I was 6. I remember on my 5th B-Day it was like the 90s or something, but here in MN, my B-Day is still in the snow.
