Re: AERC Completion Time & the weather

Hey Truman, I remember my first trip out west.  We got to the Grand
Canyon and they said it was 109 degrees.  I thought, they're insane, it's
85 at the most!  One day it was 113, and it really wasn't any worse than
our usual 94.  Since then, I have witheld  pity when I saw their heat
waves on the weather map.

out west with no humidity!
