Ocasek was the "lead" singer, although Orr did sing as well (sry Chop, part of my OCD/anality lol)

Yes and no. You would be surprised at the amount of hits Orr was lead vocals on. Drive, Candy O, all mixed up, Moving in Stereo and many more. Dont get me wrong, Ocasek is a talent in his own right, but many of the cars hits Orr sang. (Im CDO. Same as OCD but alphabetically correct
)
Nice T shirt 
Good morning Moo!
Good morning, James!
Oh, HELLZ yah! I got to see them with my first wife, front row! SUCH good memories! Of The Cars...
I will try not to. My shop is air conditioned, so that part isn't bad. I try to get out after work to get some yard work done, but that only lasts maybe an hour because the damned mosquitoes drive me back inside.Good morning Paul!

I just walked outside, it's already pushing 100 at 9:30 AM.....
Fucking yuck!
At least it's a dry heat!

Thank God I have a lotta paperwork today, I'll just stare at the sunshine while at 76 degrees...!
I'd take that dry burn over the sauna that it normally is here. At least the breeze can cool you off if it's dryOh it's dry alright, like an Oven....

When I think about the heat, it's really almost tolerable, compared to 90 degrees and 80% humidity.
And in 4 months it'll be just about perfect again.....
8 months of really nice weather, and four months of Wolf Ovens.....

We used to take vacation in Arizona when I was young, and I remember the first thing I thought on one of those 110+ days... "it burns in the sun, it's nice in the shade, but the air still feels cool" that dry heat makes such a difference..i just remember it definitely being hot, but it feels focused from the sun. Here, when it's 90 with ridiculously high humidity, it's like you can't escape the heat, the humidity is so high it just gets you from every direction and theres no way to cool off. It really does feel suffocating like a sauna

Sounds like there's someone at her job that she wants to keep at a distance, if she's gonna be eating beans flavored with curry and garlic.
With a side dish like that, what's the main course? Filet of skunk? Andria

Exactly like Atlanta. It's like trying to breathe JELLO, the air has actual substance, from the humidity. The only way to survive is indoors, in the air conditioning. Yesterday was GREAT here; it was in the high 80s but almost no humidity at all, and a nice breeze -- that's the kind of weather I like! Sadly, by the end of this month, the air will be hot jello, and I'll be stuck indoors completely.
And hey, g'mornin' (even though it's afternoon) and GFYs. Had the leg cramps again this morning, so I kept going back to sleep, till finally I was DREAMING of a leg cramp, which woke me up to a real one, about 11:30. *sigh*

Theres been times I was watching some history related show, and it shows paintings of people dressed in their Georgian Era or Victorian Era clothing, multiple layers of vests, coats, long wool pants, etc, and in relation to the southern states. How the HELL did they wear all that crap in the middle of summer, full on humidity, with no air conditioning, and not die!? I'm being serious. You don't ever see paintings from the 1840s where the southern gentleman or whatever is wearing a big hat and shorts....

Good morning, Stuart, Dale, Andria and Lucy! Talking about the heat, I was in Palm Springs once and it was 115 degrees, but under the canopy of an RV there was a light breeze and being so dry, I actually had goose bumps! The sweat evaporated immediately giving an air conditioning effect. I'll take dry heat anytime over this stuff we have in the south. Makes me want to join James in Colorado when I retire! I love snow if I don't have to work out in it.

I'll be in Phoenix in August... Not looking forward to that one.
Lived in Austin TX for several years. Bought a bagger just so I could avoid getting in my truck in the summer.
Grew up on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain in a house with no AC.
Kentucky weather is damn near heaven to me
Exactly. Here the shade and sun are pretty much the same. If I have to walk any distance at all, I'm gonna feel like I just got out of a pool by the end of it

Mine either.... Maybe the U.P..... Or smack dab in the middle of northern Wisconsin somewheresI can't like that enough.
When I got out of boot camp a long time ago, I brought a guy that I became friends with home with me on leave. He was from North Dakota. He freaked out when he saw some of our cockroaches.
Take Alaska off your list.....
I've said that so many times to my friends and family that whenever I say alaska, eyes start rolling. I've lived in kentucky my whole life and I've never felt "at home" during the summer months. Can't stand the heat/humidity

When I saw and then read Gone With the Wind and developed the usual young girls' fascination with all things antebellum, I wondered the same thing. That, and also my experience with trying an actual corset, gives a great deal of understanding of why women so often succumbed to "the vapors", and there was an actual article of furniture called a "fainting couch."
In the course of my historical researches though, I turned up an interesting factoid -- although there was a female undergarment called "pantalettes", they were considered rather scandalous, and were usually only worn during "that time of the month" -- women mostly went completely bare under their skirts and layers of petticoats. So that explains a little about how they were able to endure those layers of skirts and petticoats, and again, why they so often fainted... along with the tightly-laced corset, of course -- pull that thing tight enough, and you see black spots before your eyes, the prelude to passing out cold. It also explains why women wore those enormous broad-brimmed hats -- yes partly to keep their skin milky-white, but also for coolness.
The Victorian multi-layered costumes were really only appropriate to England, where it's cold and damp pretty much 12 months of the year. I've often heard brits bitching about the heat in America... which tells you, it's cold there ALL the time. Even when they say it's summer over there... it's barely 60-70 degrees -- which I consider rather chilly! And Scotland, even colder and wetter.

Strange that humans revere a human who got famous for beating on other humans faces.

I agree! When I see a bug in my house, I kill it -- when I see one of those giant monsters, I holler for The Slayer (my husband!).
