I was in the Navy and stationed two years in Pearl Harbor. The guys would talk about the weather and I was one of the ones who said, "I miss the change of the seasons". Well, that first Illinois winter I changed my tune. I would much rather have been walking around in shorts and a t-shirt with flip-flops on. In my mind, Honolulu has the ideal weather (or San Diego, I can never decide). A lot of people don't know this about Honolulu -- the everyday high temp is 90 or 91 degrees in the summer. Rarely varies from that. The all-time high is 92. Now that is consistently great weather. In the winter, it is the perfect weather for me. 83 or 84 as the daytime high if I recall, and 61 or 62 as the low. |

One winter in Chi was enuf Can't stand the humidity in Hawaii any more than here in FL. San Diego, undoubtedly, the best! |

humidity in Hawaii.....? Where???? depends on where you are. The trades are breezy and very nice this time of year, and almost all year 'round. Maybe you visited Kauai Eric? |

Certainly not on Oahu or Mauai. I spent a lot of time in different places on those islands and the humidity was always running in the 40-50% range. The trade winds send gentle breezes across, and regular short rainfall seems to condense any humidity that might threaten. Delightful. Certainly the best weather I had where I lived as an adult. Summer or winter. I lived in Florida for a year, too, and that is a different story. In the summer it is like walking out into a steam bath. Especially on the west coast. |

Back to the thread it is a kick to post at a gig. I have a host doing the show and i sit there playing and downloading songs. I finally got to the point where I woudnt go anywhere without a cell phone Now I need the laptop too. I tend to drift towards bars with Wifi access. Aboard ship I experienced from sub zero weather in the Arctic circle (Blue Nose) to 130 degrees with 20 foot seas. We run from hurricanes on the East coast a few times. I too know the relief from late afternoon cool sea breezes. I will never get used to lizards zipping across the table eying my cheese burger..

I could only WISH I was walking around in tropical weather right now. I was born in the wrong country. Hmm, middle of November and it was 80 degrees here. Sunny and hot. Gotta love the California weather.

Woo Hoo!! Good one, Lon. I just finished a gig. There was apparently internet available, but I couldn't connect for some reason. Kinda choked me, really.
Oh well. It was a private staff party and they all seemed to enjoy themselves, but I found it a little on the boring side. Not sure why. Maybe because the crowd was so small and they really weren't "karaoke people", if you know what I mean. I also had a mic swinger. Broke his cherryoke and he seemed to think that's what you do.... swing the mic. Yikes!!! Some people! Added: I'm going to have to stop typing in the dark..... It leads to far too much editing for typos after the fact, because I can't see the darn keyboard! |

Diafel, you mentioned your staff party was a little boring... I think it was because you didn't have your BUBBLE MACHINE there!

Actually, I think it was the lack of a light show and a snow machine. Though I could have used the snow machine that was sitting outside. The gig was at the ski hill. You want a snow machine? Now THAT'S a SNOW MACHINE!
