I have always been amazed at how hot it is down here in Grenada. I mean I know I am in the tropics and near the equator so I expected it to be hot, but lately it seems the sun has come just a little closer to earth. In spite of all this heat I have also been amazed at how well the Grenadians seem to tolerate it. I sit on the air conditioned, yet numerous wide open windowed bus drenched in sweat while the Grenadians on board seem dry as a bone. Back home if someone was sweating and raised their hand you could make fun of them for their underarm "tacos". Here, for the most part they seem used to the heat. Having said that, the other day my suspicions of it being extra hot here were confirmed. I saw an older man in a tank top with long dread locked hair walked passed me at the bus stop. I said, "afternoon" he politely replied, "alright mon" back. He took a few more steps and said out loud, "Wow...sun is blazin'!" If a Grenadian complains, you know it's hot!

Amen! It's been hot here in NY too! At least you have the beach to cool off.
True, I need to figure out how to get Pharm to stick so I can spend more time there! I hear NYC gets pretty dang cold come winter time. They should install a giant air conditioner on the moon so it will keep the earth a pleasant 72 degrees all the time. :)
