  5. Yuck! I hate the hot temps. Give me an ice storm over a heat wave any day. It's supposed to be 80* here today. I am not impressed.

    Happy TT!

  6. Wow. I'm surprised it gets that hot in Germany. I'm also surprised South America's not on the list.

    Neat list. Happy TT!

  7. What a shame it doesn't get that hot in Germany every summer. Okay, maybe that's a little extreme. But more than a day or two over 80 would be nice. Summer here is usually in the 70s. :(
