I thought it was a scheme to get people to move away.... At the old nuke plant, the turbine building (the building with which the turbine/generator/pumps/steam piping etc live) gets around 120 to 125 degrees in the summer and it's not a dry heat. It's wicked. After spending 30 - 45 minutes taking rounds in there it feels cool and lovely stepping out to the 115 degree dry heat. The containment building is pretty much similar...only hotter.

I have visited Phoenix in July and the heat felt stiflingly oppressive no matter how "dry" the locals claimed it to be. It's all a scheme to get people to move out there,,, On 7/2/07, Curt Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > When its cold you just have to plan better.
