Essendon on Friday night again. The only interest is how many goals Cameron can kick.

We get the very ocassional 44 or 45 out here but 48 is just ridiculous.

In saying that you joke abou the dry heat but low 30s imo in Asia is almost worse with the humidity.

Someone on X asked him how he can stand the heat after growing up and living in Illinois all of his life. He said you just put up with it, similar to what people say here when it hits 40⁰. Everything is air conditioned. He does take the dogs for their walk right at dawn before the sun gets too hot. He also said it's worth living there in the winter since the winters are so beautiful. That makes up for the hot periods. Since you've never lived in minus temperatures for weeks at a time, you wouldn't know what it's like.

Today would be the equivalent of Feb 8 in the Northern winter. A normal day in Chicago would have a top of 1⁰ and a low of -7⁰. And the snow... we had over 30 cm of snow on Feb 1 2011. I posted pics of our home and street on the Bulldogs forum back then.

This, you can just adapt to anything. Along with not being a complete pussy.

That's why I could never live in Queensland or the Northern part of WA. Humidity is a killer. Chicago's hot temps in the 30s always come with the south wind from over the Gulf of Mexico(Gulf of America lol) with high humidity. Luckily it only happens a few times for just a few days most summers. Best time of year is autumn, late Sept/Oct. Cool nights and warmish days.

I can't be outside in temps above 25 or so for any length of time. One symptom of my illness is difficulty regulating body temperature. That's why I like winters here.

Good morning.

I'm getting my first pair of glasses fitted today 👓. I'm getting old!

I was 10 when I got my first pair of glasses, 63 years ago. I wore contacts from '79 to '00 and went back to glasses. Since my cataracts surgery I only use reading glasses, mostly when using my phone. Don't even need them for my laptop.
 
I'm making Southern style chicken from Woolies in my air fryer today. I have ranch and spicy ranch to go with it. I'm also going to make my own chips for the first time in the air fryer. I didn't realise that individual washed potatoes were so expensive. No Doordash this weekend.
