Just a tad on the warm side out there. I like the area when it cools down a
bit, but I don't care for 110-120 days... especially working out in the sun.

Ya... this was a few months after a crash was blamed on similar
circumstances. They routinely cancel flights out of PS during the hot
ather.
RM> BTW, where are you living now ??
Same place. I lived in Brea when I first hooked into the echo and moved to
Chino in '94.
C-ya! Rich
