It is year long monsoon season over here.
Yes , the monsoon season in Borneo (Land of Yellow Ape) lasts for the whole year. As a result , many crops are destroyed by the heavy rain. 30% of Gogota organic rice plants was destroyed by the monsoon wind. He also loss some of his land as it fell into the river.

Normal flu ( Or H5N1 lite edition ??) were rampant here. Due to peak oilers healthy diet , we are not down yet but our good health cannot last forever in an ocean of sickness. Some people are sicks for 4 months. What the crappy body !!

Last night, we are talking about snow in Saudi Arabia. Flash flood in Africa the Land of Black Ape and heat stroke in The Land of the White Ape. Next week , a big flood is predicted by the Weather Agency so everyone made preparation for the flood. Hopefully my computer will not be sweep away. I need 3 months of income to buy one.
When all the rivers run dry, all the forests have been cleared, all the food has been eaten, tell me the value of your money

Yesterday parts of the Phoenix region hit 115F(46C). It was 112F when I went for my 40 minute afternoon walk. I grew up in the midwest with 90+F heat and 80-100% humidity which is far worse.

Flu in the tropics is the WORST! You think, hey, it's the tropics, it's warm, go out in the yard and grab a mango, lie in bed with your mango smoothie or whatever, but wow flu in the tropics is just nasty.

When I was last in Hawaii (it would be a nice place after a little neutron bomb delousing) and got something ..... was in bed a week and when I was able to go out and do something, like have a bowl of coconut milk soup at Keo's, I had all this blood coming out of my nose, it was awful, I was thinking, if they catch sight of this bloody napkin I keep leaking into they'll put me in some kind of container at the local CDC.... yuk.

I gradually got better, good cold soul food was Coke and Japanese munchies, various types of sugar-blasted crispy snacks in bags.

This might be the explanation why Jay Hanson lives out there. Look a human history. War seems to be the permanent condition with short interuptions of peace. Now throw atomic weapons in the mix and see what picture you get in a post peak world. Jay put his web site in a dormant stage and has been quiet in a long time.

I feel ya on the snow. :(
When I wasa kidin Nebreaska it was expected you'd have snow in the winter, usually most of the winter.
Now? Pff. A "White Christmas" is a suprise and no longer an expectation. :cry:

There's now in finnish teletext tv news that there is a horrible heat wave at India and Pakistan. In India, death toll is at over 300 and in Pakistan, 100. At some parts temperature has risen to 50C, a record temperature! 8O

I found an english language article from Google News about it: http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/holnus/00 ... 231964.htm

We hit 98F yesterday, 90F today, 85F tomorrow, 90F Sun, upper 90's Monday...no relief until atleast late next week. Dewpoints haven't been horrible, with DP in the mid 60's (could be mid 70s!). I think its the moisture (dewpoint)thats make going outside unthinkable.

Europe is boiling (atleast we have AC!)...

This has got to make us use more oil then normal?

check out the dryness in the OHio Valley

109 is not that bad. I lived in a place where temps regularly touched 120 in the shade. Tar roads went soft at that time. You could see tire tracks in them!

I went bicycling once in the heat. I was young and foolish then. Road bike. Narrow tires. Oh, and did I mention it was hot?

Yes, it was hot. At one point, I was going kind of slow on asphalt and happened to look back. It scared me. My tires were leaving permanent marks (depressions) in the hot asphalt. You could track my path all the way back to where the asphalt started.

Weird, huh?
