Hmmm, might have to reconsider that first round, then. ;-)

I was watching something this weekend that talked about the number of
safety incidents for various oil companies over the past 3-4 years. Most
of them were in the < 10 category. BP? More than *700*.
Ouch.

LOL, well played, sir. ;-)

Interesting, I didn't know that. I thought it was "just" me (not as in
"I'm the only one" but "I'm one of a small number").

75 F is very comfortable for me. In fact, that's what it is outside here
right now. Warmer than that depends on the humidity and available
drinking water. I did some work in Arizona in 106 F (server room setup
but the building wasn't finished yet and the AC wasn't installed, much
less the windows), and it was OK, but took a lot of drink with me
(Gatorade, as I recall).
But I've seen > 100 F in 80%+ humidity and that's just miserable.
