meme: what would you like to do?

[cellio]

I first saw this in mamadeb's journal, though I snagged this text from browngirl.

If you want, feel free to post a comment about something you'd like to do with me someday. Then, if you want, you can post the question in your own journal and find out what people want to do with you.

Sounds good to me! Will you be at Pennsic this year?

Not this year. We're planning for 2005, though. The hope is to go to Gulf Wars and do a short (trial) Pennsic, since I've never been. I have such weird heat sensitivity that I'll either be fine, or just lay down and not want to do anything. I don't know enough about the area/climate to be able to tell, so we're planning a three day excursion to find out.

Gulf Wars I know I can handle, it's in March (plus I've been there before).

Though if I have many more days at work like today, I may be able to shake the heat sensitivity. Engineers shouldn't have to dig ditches, but that's what I did today (to bury instrumentation cable).

It's variable. Most common is hot (90s) and humid, but humidity can sometimes be relocated as mud. :-) On the other hand, if skies are clear, which is often the case, nights can get pretty cold -- definitely bring the blankets and socks. (But hey, it's worth it to be able to see all the stars.)

I've also noticed an interesting quirk: I adapt to the heat and humidity in ways that I don't in the city. I think I notice the unpleasant conditions at home because I'm bopping in and out of air-conditioned spaces. At Pennsic, there's no AC and (I theorize) your body adapts. A couple years ago we had several days of heat indexes in the 110s (this was unusual!), and while it was certainly hot, it didn't really bother me. At home, a heat index around 95 or 100 can make me wilt.

(You do want to make sure you've got some non-plastic shade, of course. But you know that already.)
