----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Nancy, MAPS-L folk, et al: I started to wish everyone a "Happy Solstice" but figured someone would jump on it. Thanks Nancy for mentioning that we just passed one of those "geographic" days yesterday afternoon (4:34 p.m. EDT). No, I haven't been in New York exactly on one of those interesting days. In Mexico, almost everyone (except the new visitors) walks on the shady side of the street on hot days. Sounds like there is no escaping the sun on those E-W streets in New York. I guess when's it's hot, everyone walks N-S, eh? Just for your information, Knoxville this week has been about 80 degrees high everyday and about 60 degrees for lows. Not bad at all when you look at those Alpena, MI, Boston, New York and hot lands to the north. Jim Minton Keeping cool (so far)
