So, listening to the radio this morning, I overheard a report that Death Valley has had high temperatures the last few days. "The problem is," says one resident "when it gets up to 126 or 127 degrees,"
I'm already thinking of the Mythbusters: "Well, there's your problem!"
"When it gets hot like that" our Death Valley denizen continues, the air you breath in feels like it's burnin' the insides of your lungs."
Did you ever think maybe it is?
Did ya ever think maybe there's a reason it called "DEATH Valley?"
Did ya ever stop to consider the possibility that not all parts of our planet are suitable for human habitation?
Death Valley!
I mean, come on! 126 degrees!? Do you hear yourself? When it's so hot that people hundreds of miles away can feel parched just thinking about how hot it is, that too damned hot.
Just give in and admit that that's too damn hot.
It's 97 degrees here and I'm not going back outside today if I can help it. At least not until the sun goes down.
Gee, you know the problem with the weather here on Io is that when the temperature drops at night and your blood crystallizes and the air in the colony becomes semi-solid, I just feel uncomfortable, you know? It's not as bad once your fingers and toes freeze off, but it's chilly.
