Members st. fermin Posted June 26, 2006 Members Share Posted June 26, 2006 I think the new Hot-Pot Bibimbap pedal from newcomers Asia Sensatia may give the Hedonic Treadmill a run for its money. Especially since they have climate control experience that Seattle couldn't touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members papa taco Posted June 26, 2006 Members Share Posted June 26, 2006 Yeah. Hot. I was in an area of Vancouver yesterday where my car's ambient temperature gauge (which is very accurate from my experience) hit 35 celsius. I think that's about 100 F? I'm going to Vegas next week too. That's at about 105 or 110, I think. But at least it's a dry heat. This {censored} going on in the Pac North West is muggy {censored}.

Members therhodeo Posted June 26, 2006 Members Share Posted June 26, 2006 Phoenix is dry heat. Ive dug a ditch in eastern colorado in 110 degree temps with no humidity and I didnt even break a sweat.

Members LongJohnny Posted June 26, 2006 Members Share Posted June 26, 2006 Funny how people think that just because we dont have humidity in PHX that it isnt that bad. I lived in Atlanta for 6 months, and they use this thing called a heat index. Basically, it says what it feels like if there were no humidity. I have never seen it over 108, and I lived there during the summer. I would trade anyone in Seattle or St. Louis, or New York, or whever a Summer here. As a matter of fact, I am thinking of buying a house up in Oregon or Colorado, just to escape the summers here in PHX. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John you tell 'em Johnny. if it's 95, then sure, i'd prefer no humidity. if it's 115 you're gonna be miserable either way. that's 20 degrees hotter than 95, dammit! compare 75 and 95. it's the same difference between 95 and 115, fellas! but lucky me...i'm getting outta here in a month!

I blame it on the fact that you can't pump your own gas there. John would fit in in Washington... Anything 60 miles outside of Seattle and you're in flavor country, Junior flavor country. That said I would still drink a beer with the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ryanspeer Posted June 27, 2006 Members Share Posted June 27, 2006 A buddy of mine got back from Kuwait with a stint in the Navy last year. Said the average daytime temp during the warm season there averaged near 130! He said it actually spiked up to 145 one day, although only for a short time. They'd wake up in the morning, down 16oz of water and immediately start sweating out of every pore in their bodies. They'd down multiple quarts of water every day and still people would get heat exhaustion. They drank so much water that they'd actually have to take their boots off once or twice a day to drain them out a bit (I highly doubt he was talking about a flood of water here, but rather annoying masses of moisture that would drip out). The funny thing is that he said people just don't really get sunburns over there. He said he and buddies of his were getting far worse burns in San Diego than in Kuwait. Makes today's 90+ temp seem pretty moderate in comparison . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iwantpedals Posted June 27, 2006 Members Share Posted June 27, 2006 Holy damn. That seems completely un-survivable. I drank close to 2 gallons of water today and felt exhausted and heat-stroked all day. Hey, guy in the sky! Turn down the thermostat, mang!
