And I thought it was warm in my office.... Been listening to BBC Radio at work, and today the news is that they've had to lower the speed of the trains due to the heat wave sweeping Europe. I had heard bits about this on News World International, more about the forest fires than the heat, so I looked at the website. BBC News is reporting that the record temperature in Britain may fall Wednesday or Thursday. It's expected to exceed 30C today (86F), but in Paris it's pressing 40C (104F)! That'll make you a believer about global warming. I can't imagine trying to cope with that without air conditioning. For once I'm glad I didn't travel abroad for the summer holiday. Not that I've ever traveled abroad to Europe...but one can dream.
