[modeleng] Re: Oz

Hi Phill,

Glad to hear you are OK. The 42 deg heat sounds rough though. I summer we 
have a few +35 days every year, but never for long and we find it difficult 
to deal with. I can't imagine 42.

Are the fire bugs in your town doing it just for the hell of it, or is it 
carelessness? Sounds suicidal to me.

Might be a problem to ship the snow to you intact, and my snowblower won't 
throw it that far, so you better come here instead.

Cheers Jeff Dayman
