i bet scomo has a plan to beat the heat, he will send everyone an icecube by mail.

so if you recieve a soggy envolope you know yours needs refreezing

I live in Mildura.  I am finding the heat a little hard to cope with this year.  The only saving grace is our very low humidity, usually in the 10 to 15 percent range at the hottest time of the day.

And if the ice cube doesn't help, in a few years he is gonna sail a replica of Capn Cook's ship Endeavour around Australia to cool us all down with the flapping of the sails

At least we have grass and paddocks here in Yarrawonga,(which is a lot better than all the concrete in and

around Adelaide where the footpaths and nature strips develop cracks about 2 inches wide and the heat comes

back of all that concrete making it a lot hotter than what the temperature said),

We used to chuck stuff into those holes and they used to always disappear after summer.
