[Rhodes22-list] freezing

[Jim White]

Hey Ben....
If you're 10 degrees north of hell...guess where that puts us? We're 
finally blessed with some rain and mid 80's temperatures, but I 
concur....last Sunday was as hot as it gets. Could've baked bread in the 
cabin of Le Menagerie! I guess the biggest consolation is when lots of the 
other folks are up in winter mothballs, we'll still be able to go sailing 
in shorts and flip-flops!
Cheers,
jw
