It is not that bad. I was told to stay in the hotel between dusk and
dawn. I did. But I wandered around on the streets in the daytime with
no ill effect. One of the taxis was a 300D. That was nice!
The Brits called it the jewel of the nile. I can see why. I'd go back
in a flash.
The most wonderful climate I found was the highlands of Guatemala. The coasts
were a humid torment unless you were on the water with the breeze. Up in the
valley it was mostly sitting at 18c with the really hot days getting to 22c.
Nights might drop to 14c. Winter in the uninsulated house,

I loved living in Volcano. That is at 4000' too, but about 19º North.
In a house with no insulation in the winter, I froze. The house would
get colder than the night air. Most nights, I turned the dryer on and
sat on it to keep warm. But the spectacular views, the spectacular
blue sky,
Curley you always come up with great minutiae.

Wonderful climate at the equator and 4000' altitude. That happens to be
where Kampala, Uganda is. Great climate year round. About 60 at night,
and about 75 in the day with very little variation.

institute a "no cotton" rule. The young guys can't seem to get it
The operative rule for survival in desert climate is if you don't almost
have to pee, you are not drinking enough water. Water, not beer. Alcohol
speeds dehydration and accelerates bad judgement, both deadly in the
desert. Wear long pants and long sleeve shirts, BIG shade hats, all which

At some point its the heat.Back 10 or so years ago now I spent a weekend in
Burbank. There was a sidewalk art festival on so I took a stroll, had a beer
with lunch, it was nice. Got back to the hotel room and just felt bad, my
joints hurt, I had a headache. On a hunch I got a bottle of water
I wish the cold here would drive away the weak, instead they just complain,
don't put on a coat, hat or gloves, just complain...

My youngest just got hired by the County as a park ranger. When they were
interviewing him they asked if working outside in the summer was an issue for
him. He pointed out that when he worked for the NPS in
Catonsville, MD received 7' or rain last year. Smashed a state record

News flash for all the North Eastern folks. 50 F is hard freezing winter
for Arizona folks. Down parka time, gloves, muk luks. 70 F is barely warm.
Summer temps here, which keep the overcrowding problem under control,
routinely run 110 F plus, by 9 AM. Then, in the afternoon, it gets hot.

Ugh...
When we get those first 70 degree days its miserable all the worse because
it'll still get down in to the 40s fast when the sun goes down. So you wear
shorts but plan your change of clothes because it'll get cold fast.

Indeed you should!
Being in the 50s will be worse than when I was back in Pasadena, CA,
after much
If you’re talking about the cladding on the bottom half of the doors, there are
two different clips used as I recall, and one oddball clip on the rear doors.
I would have to look in my notes but I probably have the list ‘o’ clips for it.
