You people don't know hot. It was 110+ here yesterday.

Wow, that's hot. In my country, water boils at 100 degrees ;-)

I grew up in the Chicago area and have lived on the Gulf Coast, in Norfolk,
Washington DC and Okinawa. I know what hot is, and I'm delighted to consider
90 in this area as headline-making.

Hmmm...I spent 6 months flying P-3s out of Naha, Okinawa...were
you in the Navy/Marines?

I "built" (was first CO of) the USCG loran station at Gesashi on the north
end of the island 1963-64, and belonged to the Kadena Flying Club. Lived
with the Marines (Camp Schwab) while the station was under construction.

That would have been LORAN A....right? :-)
We were blessed with coupled INS/DOPPLER, quite a change from the LORAN A
sets that we had in the P-2s.

It was a loran C station. In 1959-60 I had done the same thing on St. Paul
Island in the Pribilofs...that one was a combined loran A/C station.

Interesting....I didn't think that "C" went that far back.
