Hi All
Whew!...a lot cooler this morning
Interesting. It is 30C here right at the moment, which I find pretty warm, but I do have a couple air conditioners in the living room, so the house is pretty comfy.
The highest temp I've seen here is about 44C, which was insanely hot.
On that same day, our air conditioner went out, so were were sweltering inside. My wife had to have surgery that day (minor, but painful) and she was on the couch trying to recover in the heat. Our one little dog, older and weak, couldn't take the heat and died right in front of us.
That was not a good day.
Awww...
, I'm so very sorry about your dog, that must've been heart breaking., but that wasn't recently was it?...I've previously mentioned we've had 3 dogs, but after saying good bye to the last one I couldn't go through that emotional trauma again...so we're dog less now, still miss them though. I think other dogs with their owners (when we meet them) can sense your feelings here...those dogs usually come straight up to me for a fuss and contact...I just think they can sense your affection for them, and so feel relaxed and sociable.
Talking of the heat again...I've got a waterfall, fountain and aerator pump going in my garden pond, but still managed to lose 1 large old goldfish two days ago to the heat I think, must admit, that goldfish wasn't in the best of health (dropsy, basically) so in some ways it was ok that it died (I didn't eventually have to do the dirty deed myself) I buried it under the compost heap yesterday.
Hi
The weather here just broke and rain has fallen. A few rumbles of thunder. The oppressive humidity has lifted which is a complete blessing. And this does mean I'll be able get some quality game time in so... hooray for everything \o/
I've just watered the vegetables (and flowers)
again early this morning, watered some stuff late last night but everything was mostly dry as a bone this morning....we
really need some good honest rain here (Warwickshire).
We're supposed to visit my Son and Family in Cambridgeshire in a week or two's time so I hope the weather gets a bit cooler, they've also had it quite hot down there this week.
Hi
There's always one right? Got up to 48.9c here once!
...Seriously...I can't take the heat very well these days (I'm 74 this month) it really bugs me that when you get older you've a tendency for your body to not be able to regulate the heat very well, unless you're super fit probably.
At least I'm sweating naturally, it's when you
can't sweat is the dangerous / critical situation.
...48 or 50 degrees for any length of time would see me off this mortal coil I should think!
Strangely enough I watched a documentary about skin yesterday, animals and humans...interesting...how we all get rid of heat. Anyhow, I digress again...
Hi
It's only reaches 23 degrees C here in the day but the irony of that is everything, including video cards, is liquid cooled. Just 50 miles inland it's 100+ degrees F. Gotta love that Humbolt current.
Humboldt current...I immediately thought of giant Squid when you mentioned that!
Right!...some toast, coffee and some serious gametime is called for this morning!...I see the Panther Clipper topics are still well debated about!...
...I might post up a reply in one of them saying I think the cargo space should be reduced to 512t...
...'chuckles maniacally'...of course, I wouldn't!
I nearly forgot to do those last few trade missions yesterday, squeaked in with 10 minutes to spare!...just stacking up a load more, and my credit balance is now nearly at the 50 billion mark, so I
might splash out on some new sco drives and ships, plus a few thousand tons of Tritium.
Observation...
'Wanted Commanders'...I've noticed at one of my built stations (Coriolis) there's some new headings in the station menus that give info about Commanders with a price on their heads, and where last seen in the galaxy (I've seen this in the past at other stations so I'm familiar with it btw.)
Have any of you ever taken this information on board and actively sought them out?...I've thought about it, but never tried playing the game in that way, at least not yet ...
...Hmm, I wonder if it would be 'interesting' gameplay to be able to hire npc 'professional assassins' to seek these pilots out? ...or at least get them to accompany you to achieve this task in trying to claim the bounty...might be interesting. Though the price in credits to hire them should be pretty high, depending on assassin notoriety, or 'class'.
Okay, time to trade!
Jack
