Nothing "Lost in Translation" here in the part of George Washington's Great Dismal that's in North Carolina, where the pre-dawn tinge of refracted terminator on the dank clouds, along with just the slightest 5 MPH "breeze" promises as much as an eight degree (F) drop in temperatures for the first time in weeks. We keep one eye on the jaded and grumbling Populace and another on the Tropics waiting for the first real cool weather that coincides with Election Day.

You want to see hot uncomfortable? I spent four days in Singapore which is like 1.5 degrees north of the equator. Hot and humid every day. I had to take a handcloth from the hotel with me because I really got dripping wet. On the positive side, Singapore has one of the nicest botanical gardens I've ever visited. It has to be the size of Central Park and there's a very nice orchid subsection. Matter of fact, the best I've ever seen.
