94°, 35% RH, SW breeze at 4mph.

We are under a severe flood watch - the streams and rivers can (and do) experience tons of runoff from the mountains ... a flash flood (a solid wall of water 3 to 8 feet tall, traveling about 30 miles per hour) fills up those water tributaries rather quickly and without any warning.

I suppose I should be grateful that my weather is very dull, compared to all of you. At least it is a little safer and less distructive.

Today it is warm, with sunshine.

The weather in Denmark, as we speak is the same as it was in France last week - blue sky from early in the morning, burning sunshine, no winds and the temperature way beyond what is supposed to be comfortable - at 86 degrees fahrenheit.

Coming home to Denmark yesterday after new adventures abroad, I had hoped for at least one night in seven days without the "skiiing down hill" sliding-on-the-sheet-feeling in bed. But no way. The humidity is awful, almost made me feel nausea during the first night, in fact worse than in France, perhaps because I mostly slept in a tent in the mountains of the Alpes, trying to reach my goal the d´Alpe d´Huez, where the Tour de France circus would pass. The oldest and the toughest of the mountains during Le Tour this year, entitled the King distance, above the tree limit above 2000 meters - to climb on a bicycle, and then like these guys in a speed, not healthy for common people.

Temperatures in France each day at 85-95 degrees, while in Denmark at 86 degrees yesterday, sweating like a pig in the afternoon at 5 PM after having traveled almost 1000 km by a fish truck hitch-hiking. The truck came from Pamplona, Spain. The driver was Danish and has done this trip to and from for 17 years, working 10 days, having 5 days off work, and then the same trip.

His goal was Lofoten, a small group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean 1200 kilometers north of Oslo, Norway.

^^ Wow, you've been busy intet! Good old summertime. The Tour De France is awesome, although I haven't followed it much this year.

I think I'll stick with my air conditioner in such conditions as you describe. :grin:

Actually, here there's nothing new to report weather-wise; still variable. Not too hot, generally sunny, then clouds roll in, we get thunder and rain, then it clears up and starts all over again. :rolleyes:

I simply adore the Tour de France, but I have never been there participating, because it is so very long in kilometers during three weeks always in July, when it is hotter than any other month in France - each day riding on a bicycle some 200 of these extreme sports people. Most of them will never win, some will not even make it to Paris to the finishing line, they won´t even win one distance in the race, they are mostly there to carry water and foods from the following service cars each team has to the number 1, 2 and 3 in front (to learn to service the best guys).

This year the Danish team CSC (name of the main sponsor) for the first time in 12 years, since the director former extreme well driving cyclist Bjarne Riis won the Tour de France in 1996. This year in 2008, again like on d´Alpe d´Huez, with the Spanian Carlos Sastre as numero Uno, a physical small light guy which of course is an advantage climbing the mountains faster than a French moped.

When I went to the Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2008 from July 3-12, beside the goal listening to major jazz musicians right now from the USA, the second goal was to have fun with my good old school buddy Rene´, and the third goal, more a physical exam realy for me personally, to see if my legs could manage to walk every day around Copenhagen. But the grass cutting with the neighbours for a couple of months prior to the Festival had been good exercize, so I figured realising no one I knew around here, would have plans of going to France for Le Tour, so why not do what I did 35 years ago - hitch hiking and walk on the horses of the apostles (my feet), if and when needed.

Grateful to hear that you´re being embraced with summer in Canada as well. People from Canada most definately deserve it after the typically loooooooong cold snowy winter.
