32C is nicely hot. I could use some of that right now.

Yes, it's amazing how you acclimatise. I find 20C chilly now.

I'll admit that before I bought a house with central air-conditioning,
the heat bothered me much less.

It's a favorite song that the civic club I belong to. It's a good tune to close a meeting with. It's a short, simple, easy, song to sing - not like the national anthem. I don't like the line, "To the oceans, white with foam." The image of that is disturbing. Seeing a beach like that means the ocean is seriously ill. Here's my favorite version:

I have to laugh. At thick sliced, that is 4,000 strips of Bacon. His
crew size was 300 at most.

Now an Aircraft Carrier? Yeah, they do that and maybe more. Crew size
5,000. They don't use the thick sliced much though so 400lbs is
reasonable for a day. It's however NOT done by 1 person. It never was.

But Popeye sez he cooked for the entire 6th fleet. That means he
had to cook several thousand breakfasts each day, right?

Perth is a hot climate. It is not unlike my son's account of Uganda. He
said the temperature was generally in the mid 80s. If it dropped below
83F people would put on sweaters.

Who does? Why do people even live in places that get that cold?

It's like the brown bears versus the polar bears. The brown bears won
and the losers have to live in the arctic cold.

I live in Edmonton. It was -40F / -40C for a couple of weeks this past
winter. It didn't bother me, as long as I didn't have to spend too
much time outside.

It's a dry cold. Doesn't feel the same as cold in Ontario.

Once you use it, it spoils you and you want it more and more.

In Virginia Beach, our winters jump back and forth between
cold and warm. You can't ever get used to the cold that way.

Worse cold weather here for me is days in the 30sF and it's
a damp cold that chills you to the bone. Once the temps
go below about 25F, it's dry and doesn't bother me so much.

Coldest weather here that I can remember in 47 years,
was a week when morning lows got to 5F.

That's a good time to dress warm and hike through the
swamps when all the water there is frozen solid and you
can walk anywhere.

I still wonder why so many people enjoy eating with sticks,
but only for asian food, not for all food. Always a long
stem wine glass nearby too. lol

I guess that's what they consider "cool."

Bah. I've eaten scrambled eggs (with ketchup) with sticks.

It's like being able to use two different operating systems. I'd
hate to sit down at a computer and have the velociraptors eat me
just because I couldn't figure out the OS.

The amount or the size of his ship isn't really important. We all know
he doesn't like bacon. He harps about it constantly. No one is asking
him to eat or cook anything involving bacon.

When he gets to hell, bacon will be the only food available.

Actually, it is important. If he was cooking 4,000 strips of bacon a day
for a maximum crew of 300 that is 13 strips of bacon per person. Even if
every one of them was eating bacon, that is a hell of a lot of bacon.

However, cshenk has had her own credibility issues lately. A few days
ago she talked about Germany being one of the major rice consuming
countries of Europe, and then yesterday she talked about a friend from
a Fidonet group who was serving on a Canadian aircraft carrier. That was
interesting to hear, considering that Canada has not had an aircraft
carrier for 50 years.

Dave, a little common sense. I said I was wrong on the rice, and took
my Canadian friend's word for it. Apparantly she meant the largest
thing they had comparable.
