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
