I did hear that Europe was having extremely hot weather for them... we've had highs in the mid to high 80s here, earlier this week, but starting today we have a nice shift to highs in the 70s and lows in the sleepable 50s... and a lot less humidity finally... :) BM>>> Actually doing a little bit of 'transposing' with the music currently BM>>> on my Pandora station.
