Cold vs Hot

COLD*

HOT*

On my drive from Pueblo, CO to the airport at Colorado Springs, it was -5°F. That's crazy cold. The night before, biking back from pub trivia, it was about the same. Riding a bike in that kind of cold is really cold. I quite literally had ice chunks in my beard when we got home, but I was still wearing a smile. (In fact, I was still game for a little experiment in alternative alternative . Check out Ryan's blog for a write-up soon.)

When I arrived in Ft. Lauderdale, it was 85°F with about 135% humidity. Quite a change. This means that activities (such as ) have to be planned at off peak hours to avoid the heat and time for an afternoon swim has to be taken into account everyday.

Life's tough...but fair. See:

Or maybe Wren's just trying to do a trick with his climate data to impart influence on Copenhagen...

You got me. I mean that plus sign to be a minus sign. That's what happens when one can immediately, instinctively find the average of two numbers; one can forget how to actually express the longhand way.
