Thanks, I haven't been gone, (well I had a couple of weeks in
hospital, 
but the laptop went there too!), just keeping quiet for a while.

When Mount St Helens blew up back in 1980, we had volcanic dust layers over
everything.  Even the moss had trouble growing on that!

I was just glad to see you back around, Al.  Figured I should say hi!

The rest of Australia considers Adelaide to be a farming village of 
approximately 1.2m people. (ie sydney siders and melbournites consider 
South Australians to be a bit rural, but having lived in both of these 
cities I prefer rural to feral. ;@}

I used to enjoy the cold, and still do, it's just that my definition of 
cold has shifted. When I lived in England I slept with the windows wide 
open in winter, and just a thin quilt. In my army days I used to do 
winter survival training in Norway, literally living in the snow. I 
don't sleep on floors, I had enough roughing it in the Army to last a 
life time, now I consider the Holiday inn to be as close to sleeping 
rough as I'd like to get;. My old bones appreciate a mattress.

My middle brother gets very sick at temperatures much over 20-25C, while 
my elder brother is just the opposite. I feel the cold, but am not 
really uncomfortable from it, like wise the heat. I spent years working 
the middle east, including the sahara regions. The hottest I experienced 
was at j'aloh Oasis in Libya, at 58.5C. too hot to sweat. I went 
swimming, then for a jog (I was a lot younger then!) The coldest 
probably around -30C.

Earlier this year Adelaide exprienced it's hottest period on record, 
several days at 47C.

I must admit I find gloomy skies and dank weather depressing, although I 
love a nice violent storm

Looks nice, almost scandanavian.

I think Adelaide's about the size of Portland, Oregon where I'm near. 
I'm a
little more than 10 degrees closer to my pole than you are.  Even Hobart is too
close to the equator for my tastes (what with a 75-year record low of -2C,
Hobart is a little hot for my liking.)  Dunedin in NZ is closer, perhaps.  Only
half the rain, though.

16C is the temperature I like for sleeping naked on the floor -- just slightly
overwarm, so no need for blankets or sheets at that temp.  Anything over 5C is
clearly just T-shirt weather.  I confess to wearing a thin, light windbreaker at
0C.  I like a week or two in the -10C region each year, if possible, and enough
snow and ice to stand on it without cracking through.  Haven't used my coat
in
years.

25C is painfully hot and by then I'm thinking about packing my bags and
moving a
quarter radian closer to the nearer pole.  I'm Swedish and my skin is
essentially transparent, my hair a light golden color that lets the sun burn my
scalp, too -- I paid for every freckle with 2nd degree burns (raised welts I
often get in less than 15 minutes of sun at 35 degree latitudes where you are
at.)  Not interested in more of the same.

This area of Oregon is perfect, 25km from Mt. Hood (which rises about 3.5km
above surrounding ground level.)  Near constant cloud cover all year, with a few
days of open sun a year, and 170 cm of rain a year, spread out roughly evenly,
every day.  Only a few days in winter below -10C and only a few days in summer
above 25C.  120 cm of fantastic soil anywhere you look, everything grows so well
that moss and lichens will grow from your car's trim and rubber seals! 
Also,
you just toss some seed without bothering to plant and it grows, if it
doesn't
rot from fungus first.  ;)

There was a time when I'd go outside in winter and have snowball fights 
with the kids, wearing jeans and a T-Shirt, but now I'm older and even 
perhaps a little wiser.

You're welcome. Al on a cold windy, wet windy day at the beach in
