	I just got back from a trip to Myrtle Beach, SC and am glad to be
back where it cools off at night. ;-)

	Your mention of the Denton show brought back a memory of that show
when I had a chance to go there one time in the early 1990s. It was really
hot - up in the upper 90s, not a breath of air and bright hot sun with no
clouds. What really impressed me though is the man back in the big pit they
have for heavy equipment actually running a steam shovel in that heat. It
was a wonder he didn't get a heat stroke. The woods area where all the flea
market and swap stuff was located was a blessing that day. I would like to
get back to that show some day as it was a good one in spite of the heat.
I'll watch the weather and if there is ever a forecast to cool weather, I'll
be there.
