Those temps sound great Dennis! Steve's and DJ's on the other hand are alittle too hot.

I just wish we'd get weather that's reminiscent of May. I was down in Ocean City, MD this weekend for a car show and shopping (and drinking :wink:

) during a rare May Nor'easter! It was SO raw. Friday we came down via Cape May ferry. BAD idea! I don't get motion sickness, but my friend, Debbie does and even with the Dramamine, she almost lost it (literally! :o ). I was feeling it alittle too. It rained all day and was windy - probably md 50's. We did our outlet shopping that day, hoping that Saturday would be better so our friend's husband can take out his 1964 Falcon and show it. Well, it didn't rain but was windy, low 50's at best!

We did end up hitting our favorite bar, Seacrets (aka, Jamaica, USA) on Saturday but the weather was horrendous!!!

Yeah, I hear you DJ! Just think of our area having that temp (which is possible in July, but probably not this year) and add a "0" to that 8%! :o Yuck!!!

Tecate Cervezas with lime huh? Is it like Corona?? No glass, just a bottle correct??? :?

ROFLMAO Dennis!
To borrow a 'Kahunaism':
"Dryer'n Lizard Lips"
Now,this is NOT bad.I rememmber 10 yrs ago when I first moved here,and a few years thereafter,(Remember,I had a home right off of SF Bay in Benicia,CA!!!CCCCColllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllld in June...or as Sam Clements,aka,Mark Twain said of the Bay Area:
"The Coldest Winter I ever Spent was a Summer In San Francisco!"True!
It won't heat up to 90f in "The City"(SF) until late Sept.
Now..I remember being new here.I had to go to PHX.It was.get this..122!
Holy Blown Tires on I-10 E Batman!It 'cooled' off to 117F in TUS just as I got home..Rh was ZERO!June Blowdryer.They were afrid the Desert Fuels would Combust ..with no spark!Spontaneous Combustion.Then Mt Lemmon and Pusch Ridge just outside my window Caught Fire from Dry LTG..Oh Man!100 STRAIGHT DAYS of 100F+!!!!!!!!!!!!New record 1993..only '89 was worse..and this looks JUST like '89 Showing Up..uh oh!
Mas Tecates!!!BTW Steph,Tecate Cerveza de Monterrey,Nuevo Leon,MX. is much bette rthan Corona Extra,IMHO.Real light.Monterrey,N.L.MX was settled by Germans after the turn of the Century and brought with them th eexpertise and had the Artesian Wells of MX to draw from..Ummm:Primo!
